How am I ever going to handle letting Presley go??? Tonight we put her in her own room, in her crib for the first time. She hates taking naps there, probably because she hates taking naps too begin with, but she's sleeping now for about 2 hours. I sit here, feeling somewhat sad and empty because my little baby is growing up! Listen to me, what the heck is wrong with me???? She's only 4 months, not going into kindergarten , high school or 18! What if she can't breathe? What if she is scared? What if someone takes her and I can't get to her??? Now I'm being plain silly.
I have said and preached it "don't hold onto anything too tightly". Yet I am holding on to Presley so tight. I know this is the beginning of letting her go and letting God be in charge.
My prayer is that I trust in the Lord, and not hold onto what is really not mine anyway, too tightly. Besides, I've got the video baby monitor right next to my ear.

Every step in raising them is an exercise in letting go. I am realizing this. It will be okay. Then you will joy in her new accomplishments! I love you!
