So, I’m very much winding down on the ideas and writing
thing......it's a good thing we're on T! I've also noticed that I am not
capturing as many readers or followers as I was in the beginning, oh well, so I’m
boring. That's news. *insert sarcasm here*. I am listening to
my son talking. It’s a never ending train of thoughts piled on top of
thoughts mixed with random noises his body and mind have insisted he make and
topped off with a "Mommy!!! Mommy!! Mommyyyyy!!! And to
think, I had him tested because he didn't really say anything until he was
nearly 3. It's like the parents (I’m guilty with the first one) who try
and try and try to get their babies to walk at 8 months......you think you are
rip-roaring ready for all of those milestones....you're baby has to be THE ONE!
It takes about a week before you realize how easy they were when they
stayed where you put them. Even when they crawl...at least you can kind
of follow the path of destruction and yes, they can crawl fast, but not nearly
as fast as when they figure out how to, as my Pastor once described,
"purposely lift a foot, fall forward, and catch themselves over and over
and over again. Otherwise known as 'walking'". Then they are
gone. Oh they come back on a regular basis for the cuddles and the
'ups!', but they are pretty much carving out their own path and they are on
their way. Inevitable and bittersweet.
Silver lining =
learn to walk means learn to do chores! :)
I know exactly what you mean! One minute you're wishing they'd do something more than just lay there, hit a milestone. The next they won't stop and you need a rest! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm also getting a little burned out on trying to think of posts!
ReplyDeleteI don't have kids, just furry babies, so I can't relate with the learning to talk thing. But I did teach my dog to shake hands, and now she's always smacking me with her paw.
Wishing you continued success with the A to Z challenge,

Babies do grow fast; good thing to - cause us moms need all the help we can get doing those chores.
