Someday, little girl, you won’t want to hold our hands anymore. We’ll have to grab you before crossing the street or walking across the parking lot; we’ll have to holler, “Wait for me!”
Someday, sweet baby, you will be so adept at walking that it would not occur to you to drop to your knees and crawl. We’ll have to run after you and shout, “Slow down! Be careful!”
Someday you won’t need us nearly as much as you do now.
We won’t have to serve ketchup with every meal and change diapers and run bubble baths and pick up toys and walk slowly and put socks on your feet and cook chicken nuggets.
And we won’t get to hear, “Mommy! Help! Buckle me! Milk! Walk, walk, walk, walk! Daddy! Do that! Toys! Out! Up!”
Someday you won’t want to hold our hands. Someday . . . but today, I’m glad you still want us to hold your hand and help you walk.
AWWWWWWWWWWW *sniff* *sniff*
we're in someday over here… *Sniff*
I thought you weren't going to think about "someday"! :) Beautiful.
sniff sniff.
snort snort.
slurppppp.
snort a little more.
Thanks a lot. Good thing I haven't showered or put on makeup yet this morning.
And she is absolutely precious!
*SNIFFLE* As Grace approaches 5 years old (at warp speed) I am happy to say, someday is not here just yet. She still has so many aspects of my 'little' girl. However, I am dreading…DREADING this time next year when I have to send her in to the world of *gulp* Kindergarten. I am afraid our 'someday' is right around the corner. I guess she will have you to thank today when I make her sit on my lap, snuggle, and hold my hand all day. LOL!
OMGness! Marlie has that SAME dress! It was her Easter dress this year.
oh, this made me a little sad…Ethan is getting more independant as the days pass…our "someday" has arrived :(
aww…. so true! enjoy every moment!
So sweet… I hang onto every second of my kids wanting to hold my hands :)
It's such a fine line… wishing for 'someday' and hoping it never comes at the same time!
So precious.
I know this isn't the point, but what a cute dress! :)
So very true. Sweet post, Mary!
Um, hello, bawling.
Wondering if I need to take a HPT since it seems like I have done NOTHING BUT CRY for two weeks.
But really, divine.
And before you know it, she'll be riding in cars with other teenage drivers and you'll be scared to death and you'll make her text you the whole way there.
And the hand holding is the hardest thing to let go of. I love it when my big, tough, 8 year old son forgets and grabs my hand — you know, by accident. It warms the cockels of my heart!
Hugs!
You'll hold her hands for awhile, her heart forever. Loved seeing the sweet pics of your beautiful girl!

So sweet, Mary. My 11 year old still holds my hand. Enjoy it while you can!
That is so sweet. I was not prepared to get so teary eyed first thing this morning – but it makes me want to go cuddle my girls while they sleep!
Oh My! So true…for all my complaining…this is what I love the MOST! Snuggling & Holding hands, hugs & kisses. (maybe that's why I keep having kiddos?)
wow, shes grown so fast already!
she will always need you. even if she doesnt show it…she'll know it.
Don't ever forget those moments…My "babies" are 10 and 7 and while they don't need me in the sames ways, they do still love their Mommy! Being a mother is one of life's greatest blessings. Enjoy every moment!
