Lucy had her first broken heart.
Her beloved bottle didn't show up like it has every night before.
And when I told her the bad news that it had left and wasn't coming back.
Her bottom lip quivered
Giant tears welled up
And with the saddest voice I have ever heard she said
" ma ma...please. please.. ma ma.. please."
Her heart was broken into pieces.
I felt so bad, my heart was broken too except probably into a little less pieces.
I'm not going to lie. I almost gave in.
But instead I rubbed her little head until her sobs became wimpers.
Then I whispered "I love you" and she said it back.
I am glad she thinks that bottle broke her heart and not me.
And when I packed up all the bottles away to never return.
It made me sort of sad...a little teary.
I still can't explain exactly why.
I think It has something to do with that no diapers and no bottle equals no longer a baby.
A new phase in life.
A part of me is going to miss that baby in her.

I would have given in. It makes me sad to think of Lucy growing up.
She will always be your baby, (especially while Shane is calling her baby) but if you get too sad then you can always make Brighton a new little friend. hehe
You know, as excited as I am not to have to change another diaper in my life, it will be hard when I realize I am completely out of the baby phase of life.
p.s. way to stay strong :)
That is the saddest story, poor lucy. She is ready for the next phase... why does it go by so fast?
