As I was putting Noa down to her nap today I was snuggling her tight and just enjoying being able to hold her.
SB: Oh Noa. Can you please stop growing up. I want you to stay my little girl forever.
Noa: (looking very concerned and a little panicked… as if I could really keep her from growing up) But MOMMY! If I don’t grow up I can’t be a mama and have my kids and you need to be my kids’ Baba.
** In response to a few comments on my last “Overheard…”, Martha is definitely NOT potty trained (so I can’t tell you how “I did it” 
). I think that because Noa does it, she wants to sit on the potty, and she usually thinks to do it while I’m changing her diaper. So I let her and sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn’t. After Noa took so long to train, I am not pushing anything at this point – I don’t have the time or patience or free hands at this stage of my life to potty train a 21-month old. Maybe next year…
