Reason Behind the Title

When Lilly learned to put on her shoes, I pretended to cry.  With a concerned tone in her voice, she said, "Mom, why are you sad?"  I replied, "Pretty soon, you won't need a Mommy anymore because you are growing so fast."  She laughed and comforted me by saying, "I still need you to teach me how to drive." *Smile*


Now, every time she learns something new or decides she can do something without my help, one of us will say, "pretty soon I/you won't need a Mommy anymore" and it has become our little inside joke.

This blog is about the things my daughter is learning. When she was a baby, it seemed as if she was learning something new every day. Now that she is a preschooler, it seems that the obvious-in-your-face learning has dwindled a little bit, so this is my attempt to be observant and not miss those moments where I realize she has done something new. It is also to recognize some of the "lasts".
