She told me she wasn't a baby anymore, she is a big girl now. So then I had to explain that she wasn't A baby, that she was MY baby. I told her that my 30yr old brother was Nanna's baby LOL and that made it clearer for her.<br/><br/>They will always be our babies, even when they grow up.<br/><br/>P Not that long ago I told my 8yr old DD that she was my baby.

They will always be our babies, even when they grow up.

LOL. Aaaarrrhhhhh. I had hoped for a tiny glimmer of brilliance but I think all I've ended up with is a heap of waffle. :-( BUT, maybe down the track it'll be enough to inspire some "brillian" edits. LOL. Who am I kidding? Well...still have 5000 words to go so better not relax too much yet. It does help that I can type faster than my brain can think. LOL.<br/><br/>As for another blog...don't do it! LOL. Just kidding. Actually, I'm glad I separated my blogging as it's enabled me to blog about stuff that I'm not sure would necessarily suit this blog. I *thought* this blog didn't have a "niche" but in a way it does...so it's nice to have the other 2 blogs for variety. LOL. What would I do differently? Ummmm....not go from 1 blog to 3 blogs in the same month as Nanowrimo. And maybe wait a bit longer before I publicised a new blog so I had a chance to iron out kinks and get it established without the pressure of worrying people would get sick of the blog before I even started and abandon me....never to return. :-) Jenny - sending you (((HUGS))) as we endure this transition together. :-)

I am not even close and will not get to the 50,000 word goal by the end of the month. I won't even get to the half-way point. I know how much work goes into completing the month and I commend you!!!<br/><br/>I might start a second blog too. Any advice? Like, "don't do it." ??<br/><br/>Hang in there. I like being busy like you, but sometimes put too much pressure on myself to do everything...at once.<br/><br/>SBW I am IMPRESSED that you will finish NaNoWriMo.

Yikes! I loved this post because it made me realize that it's a universal feeling to want them to stay your "baby" forever. My “baby” turns 4 at the end of December. Yikes!
