The one that made me a Mama.
.
For the longest time I felt panicked that she was growing up and I mourned the loss of each stage of life- babyhood, toddlerhood, little girl-hood and felt like I was loosing something each time.
.
I’ve said before 7 was a tough age. Pearl came along and altered the family dynamic, it’s apparently a big hormone time (who knew?!) and overall there was a lot of, let’s say, spirited boundary pushing! 😂
.
Then, like a Phoenix from the ashes, age 8 comes along and hello! They’re super fun again! Yaaayyyy! This stage is LOVELY! It’s like having a little friend who you can chat to and enjoy things with and go on mini adventures with! She’s cheerful and sparky and a sponge for info- I love it!
.
For any of you sad that a stage is over, don’t be, to my mind, each stage (except 7 🤣) is better than the last and it’s better to look forward to what’s coming than look back at what’s been. 💖
.
Darcy, you’re an absolute legend xxxx

lolasfooddiaries Never heard it said like that before “mourning stages of your child’s life” but it’s so true! I literally had an emotional breakdown when my son started high school. I missed the days he was a little baby, the night feeds, the toddler stages, everything. Also if you think 7 is a sassy stage wait for 11-12 ? haha. I’ve just about got my head around the almost teen stage. Just takes time to catch up to all the new changes that happen seemingly over night ??(Oh that and the hormones ?)...

hobbitspockets Darcy is so stinking cute! ❤️ 7 was an angel year for us and 8 has been... well... challenging... I think she's starting her preteen/teen attitudes early!!! ? It's interesting to watch them evolve into actual little people and test their boundaries and formulate opinions and grow from everything like a little weed! Even with all the screaming and headaches I wouldn't give it up for anything in the world! ?

hamiltonwyliebaby I totally identify with that 'mourning' already and our baby is only 4months old. I feel like she has changed so quickly and it seems like the squishy wee newborn is a totally different person to the baby we have now. I am finding this aspect quite difficult but this post helps. Thanks!

baking_addict88 Love that your discussing this. I worry about the relationship I have with my eldest will one day turn sour (thinking forward to teenaged years, mostly) but reminding myself that it’s most likely a phase and it will all come full circle is comforting x

nickytribble Darcy is definitely a legend!! ? I have you say I’m an adult now and love my relationship with my mum, will ask her if she misses the child me but I have to say my relationship with her now is amazing ??

elizabethmmjshaw Would you be interested in a video about how you handled the boundary pushing? I’m a new mama of a ten month old and am eagerly trying to prepare myself for these kinds of things. I’d love advice!
