The timing is odd because she’s been out of diapers for a couple months and that, we told her, was when she stopped being a baby and became a big girl.

Anyway, Tara is walking in to Kids World yesterday and she sees a new riding truck in the babies’ play area.

“Look, the babies got a new truck!” She was so excited for them, and then maybe reality set in.

“But baby days are over now. Big girl days are here,” she said, matter-of-factly.

Big girl days, indeed…….
