Being a mom is full of these bittersweet moments that I never expected. Sure, sure, I knew she'd learn to walk, and talk, and do all kinds of things without me. But when someone had needed you every night of her life to go to sleep, when she suddenly looks at you and waves imperiously at her crib (forgoing her usual snuggling routine), it's hard not to feel rejected. There were many nights when I dreamed I'd be able to do just that--plop her in the crib et voila! Sleeping baby!
And now here I am, feeling weepy that my baby doesn't need me any more.
