Three years ago I nursed you to sleep. I tucked you into bed beside me. Then, you were my baby.
Two years ago I sang “Gracie” as I rocked you to sleep in my arms. I laid you down in your crib and covered you. I checked back to make sure you were snug and warm. Then, you were my toddler.
Today, with only a few stories and a kiss you climbed into bed on your own. Now you’re my little girl.
After you were fast asleep I covered you up and placed Tang, your beloved stuffed tiger, in your arms. This is because in my heart you’ll always be my baby.
