oh my, i’m already crying and this is just the first sentence! i’ve been bipolar all week. you see, my oldest daughter is turning 4 tomorrow. 4! i can’t belive it! one moment i’m so excited to plan for her 4th birthday party, and the next moment i get sad and teary-eyed. i cannot believe how fast time goes by when you have children. it’s too fast. it’s scary. and it’s sad. yes, they call it bittersweet but for me it is way more bitter than sweet. i keep telling adalie, “you promised me you’d stop growing, how come you keep getting so smart and so big?” and she always says to me, “mom, don’t worry, i’ll always be your little girl~!” which makes me even more sad at how old and mature she sounds. when every birthday approaches i think about how many years i have left with them until they leave home and go to college, and this year i only have 14 more years. only 14 more years of being in her presence everyday wishing her good morning and good night, eating dinner together every night, only 14 more years of praying with her, pillow talking with her as i tuck her into bed, singing to her and giving her a last hug and kiss before she drifts off to sleep for the night(oh, you bet ya i’m doing all those things for the next 14 years!). if it makes me cry at every birthday just thinking about this, can you just imagine me in 14 years when i actually do send her to college? oh my goodness, an emotional train wreck i tell you.
p.s: now that i wished you a happy birthday, can you REALLY stop growing after your 4th birthday? mommy would appreciate it, thanks.
Congratulations ^___^ Adalie!
Don't look at the down side, it might look scary but be happy for her because it's your daughter 🙂

Excellent post, you done my work easy. I was just finding about a great gift for my neighbor 's kid. Because his birthday is just in next week, and me and my sister plan to give one surprise party, Your blog details are best for it.
