E will be turning 1 in 8 days, and I'm not ready.
I'm excited to see him growing and changing and learning, and I'm excited for him to be a toddler (although honestly, we call him a toddler now) and then a little kid, but I'm just not ready for him to not be a little baby. Rationally I know that he hasn't been my little baby for a long while--he's practically running, he's got an independence streak a mile wide, I haven't given up the last MOTN feeding because it's one of the only times he'll snuggle with me...but psychologically he's still my little baby.
Under 1 to 1 seems like such a huge mental divide, and it makes me sad to know we're rushing towards crossing over that "line". It doesn't help that it's entirely possible he'll be our only child, and I can't even count on getting to have another little baby someday
Anyone else have mixed feelings about your LO's first birthday?
