Pigtails

Pigtails

Today I decided Scarlett's hair was probably long enough for pigtails. So I combed it and pulled it back. I took one look at her and wanted to take them right out. It hit me that she looked more like a little girl than my baby and I had to fight back a tear. 

Pathetic? Maybe. Overly emotional? Maybe. Or maybe I am just like all the other Mommy's out there who want to freeze time and keep their babies with them forever. 

I love her so much. She is so sweet, so perfect. 

Although I wanted to take them out, I left them in. Because as much as I want her to stay little, I love watching her grow up. I love seeing her learn and discover the world around her. When I am with her each day I am reminded that our lives are Simple. Good. Eternal.
