Shrinking Territory

Once upon a time Sofia's entire universe revolved around me. She depended on me to eat, to change her diapers, and did not sleep unless she was in my arms. She then became a happy but shy toddler, still eager to be around me all the time. Now, at age six, she can hardly wait to come home from school and go right back outside to play with the other kids.

This morning she was happy to have me walk her into her school ... until she ran into one of her friends and decided that she did not need me to walk her to her room after all.

I wish I was still Sofia's #1, but at least my consolation is that Bella still prefers to hang out with me.
