No More Lullabies

Dear Mackenzie,

You had an eyelash on your cheek today so I told you about how some people make a wish on a fallen eyelash. You closed your eyes and said, "I wish for love!" So sweet!

Later at night, you asked me why some statues are missing parts. I said that statues, like the ones in museums, can be thousands of years old and have broken because they are so old. You asked, "If they're broken, why don't they throw them out?" Valid point.

And then later later at night, I was putting you to bed and started the lullaby playlist on the iPad like I do for you every night. On this night, however, you informed me, "Mama, I don't need the lullabies anymore." I guess I made a face because then you asked me, "Mama, why you do this?" and then kind of scrunched your face up. I did it because I'm sad that you are growing up so quickly! You just graduated from kindergarten--slow down, Kenziebear!

Love,
Mom
