My little baby girl is growing up, I was okay with the fact that my son was growing up, but my little girl..it kills me, how do I deal with that fact that I will not be able to hold her like a baby. She is already in a older mindframe wanting to do everything herself. What can I do?

well im sure you know that you can't stop her from growing up and you would not prevent her from striving as a big girl. i know its hard when they start to get bigger. it was hard for me as well. but just think of all the great things there are to come with her. the barbie dolls and princess the dances and the dates. the wedding and then one day far from now she will have her own babies and she will need you to teach her all you know. there are great things for you and your children ahead of you. yes she is no longer a tiny baby but she is far from ready to fly on her own. and there will be times when she is sad or sick or lonely and she will want to be held again in your arms. good luck to you and chin up. be proud of how far she has come and look forward to what is to come.

My suggestion to you is going to sound very typical, but really it is true! Enjoy EVERY second you can with your little girl. Make time during the day, every day, to do something special with her- like a craft project (my little girl LOVES to finger paint- it might be messy, but the smiles I get from her make it SO worth while!), play a game (hide and seek, chase the baby), read books, or even just try to get her to snuggle with you while you watch a movie! This time is precious- and it does go by SO quickly! Enjoy her and spend time teaching her and loving her so she'll someday become a wonderful mother- just like you!

I feel the same way my little girl is now 2 and I can't bare it- but I'm am also excited to see what kind of girl she will become. Will she be sweet, polite? I'm looking forward to the years to come but will be sad for the years that past. You have to let her grow up -- even though you don't want to!!!!!! Good luck!

Its so different with girls, isn't it? I always thought I'd treat my daughter like a tomboy, but now I have one (my third child), she's only 3 months old and I dress her like a pretty princess. Go figure.
My only advice is to pat yourself on the back for raising such a wonderful and delightful child who will one day grow up to be a wonderful woman....and then remember that even when our kids (both boys and girls) are parents themselves, they will still be our babies.

Cry those bittersweet mommy tears that have stained all of our cheeks! Love her and try to let her be independedent with you right behind her. I know how you feel my son is going to be 2 soon and I cry and swell with pride with every new word and development. It truly is bittersweet.

I feel the same way, my daughter is 10 months old and every day I tell her, please stop growing!! (Like that works...) All I can say is enjoy every moment, it'll only go by faster if you keep thinking about it.

perhaps it truly is the belongings you practice to her scalp which could have stunted the upward thrust of her hair, you recognize the grease and stuff. i advise, because you toddler's epidermis is truly smooth, putting man or woman-stuff on her epidermis and scalp will worsen her. please carry her to the well being care service to have her scalp checked only to be particular. i could have stated it truly is common, yet when it truly concerns you, flow to the record. by technique of how, in some international locations, they purposely shave off the toddler's head even as it turns a million. dunno, they say it truly is to make the hair thicker.
