Too Fast

Annabelle is growing up too fast.  I know that everyone told me and told me that this would happen but it sorta snuck up on me.  One minute she was constantly attached to me, on my lap, holding my hand, leaning into my body and the next... she was just gone.  Playing by herself, going to school, being her own little person.  But the one constant in the last five years has been Pooh Bear.  She got him when she was about 2 weeks old and he is still a constant companion. 

It used to be that we couldn't even leave the house without him.  I see that he's a little less important than he once was, but he's still her sleeping buddy and goes in the car with us everywhere.  Now he stays in the car though, instead of coming with us.  So you can imagine that the new Winnie the Pooh movie was high on our list of things to see.  It was cute, only a smidge over an hour.  There was lots of laughing and a small tear from me seeing my girl growing up.

"If there ever comes a day

when we can't be together,

keep me in your heart. 

I'll stay there forever."

-Pooh-

I took this picture this morning as I went to wake her up.  Can you see Pooh peeking out from underneath her?  I know that the day she gives him up, I will cry like a baby.
