The other day, I saw an interaction between Prince Charming and Princess Belle that broke my heart just a little.
As I have mentioned before, Princess Belle absolutely adores her father. When I asked her in the past what her favorite day would be she said that it would be cuddling with daddy in his armchair, watching a movie and eating popcorn. That was the best thing she could ever think of. And whenever she was outside playing, if Prince Charming mentioned watching a movie with her, she would drop what she was doing and who she was doing it with and come running in to spend the time with her daddy.
Fast forward to a couple of days ago.
She was outside with her little friend, Thomas. She had come in looking for a snack before going back out again. Prince Charming said, "It's up to you, you can have a cheese string if you like, or you can come inside and watch a movie with popcorn with daddy." She grabbed the cheese string and took off back outside.
Poor Prince Charming looked so sad. He said to me, "It was not so long ago that a movie and popcorn with me was the best thing she could think of. Now a cheese string and Thomas is all she needs." He sounded a little sad, like she was growing up and realizing that maybe daddy's lap was not the best place in whole world after all.

The passage of time.... I know it shouldn't be sad, but sometimes it really is!
...and it happens so fast, almost over night! *sigh*
Awwww. They grow up so fast! Before he knows it. she'll be dating!
Sometimes in the rush of the day, we forget to cherish the little moments. I suspect she'll still want to curl up on daddy's lap though.
Big hugs to you!
boo!
Wow. The million and one ways you can have a little heart break everyday. Gabe our 6 yr. old announced at the end of the Kindergarten year that he wanted to marry Haley...then his name would be Gabe Moat! (We are all Dunns here!)
That's a great photo sequence! Very pretty baby. :o)
It's hard when they start growing their wings, huh? *sigh*
