My daughter is 4 going on 5 in another two weeks! So, we are leaving Toddler Land for good. I'm trying to decide how I feel about that. On the one hand, I'm sad because my little girl is getting so grown up.
On the other, I'm excited about kindergarten and sleepovers and everything the next stage of growth and development will bring. The other day we went shopping together, and my daughter helped me pick out a shirt. No whining to go to the toy aisle -- she was actually thrilled to be looking at clothes, even more than I was.

This Week's Confession:

Loving this family hands turkey card from My Paper Crane. This puts a little spin on the traditional kid handprint turkey we see year after year. And if you have a larger family, stretched out this could make an adorable mantle decoration. :)
