I am soo not ready for her to grow up!

Lilly had a dentist appointment a few weeks ago and in the midst of it the dentist told me that her front two bottom teeth were loose! So we were pretty excited for that. I felt them when we got out of there and yeah they weren't like wriggly loose, just a tad, but still cool. Well we have just had so very much going on these few weeks that I have pretty much been leaving it up to Lil to brush her own teeth at bed and then I or Anthony do a double check. I hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary except maybe her teeth getting a smidge more loose. On Mother's Day, we were in Maumee visiting my Mom and I forget who pointed it out first but Lilly has one of her bottom "adult" teeth already in! I mean it's not totally in, but it has broken through the surface and looks like this super white line behind her baby teeth. When I say super white we are talking "Ross from Friends episode white." I was so shocked to see that, cuz I guess I was just expecting baby teeth to fall OUT before new teeth came IN! It looks so funny to see that in there when she hasn't lost any teeth yet. I was taken back a little bit when she showed me simply due to the fact that I'm just not ready to keep on giving parts of her childhood up! Every time I turn around lately she is growing up faster and faster, no more days with me to do anything we want-off to school soon, baby teeth are beginning to loosen up and fall, adult teeth already IN, not needing help to brush teeth, Learning how to write on her own, getting her own cereal ....seems like wherever I used to help her in areas, she is slowly gaining her independence in them. Which is great FOR HER! Not so great for Mom! Starting to get inched out of parts of her life and she's only 5!!! Although I do look forward to inching my way back into other parts of her life as she grows! lol Only now do I truly realize why  my mom was always saying "don't grow up too fast" or "don't wish to grow up too fast." Being a mom to Lilly is the best gift in life! I have experienced feelings and emotions that I never even knew existed until I had her! I wish I could just bottle her up and keep her this innocent and young forever!
