Later this morning, however, they did something cool and all grown up. They climbed into their own high chairs for the first time. And then I was brought back to reality. My kids are growing up and learning new things, often without me even trying to teach it to them. And I love it. I'm glad that I don't have to pick them up to get in the chairs anymore - it's been murder on my back lately. And it's really cute to watch them climb.
And in other "growing up" news, both Sebastian and Collette did a superb job holding hands and walking through the parking lots yesterday. I have only been practicing with Collette but decided to take advantage of a 1:1 ratio and have both walk. I was with Sebas and I was amazed at how well he did. He's a lot slower than his sister so I have to remember to walk slowly but he held my hand without objection and that's really all that matters.
So, S & C, thank you for making life a little easier for your (very pregnant) momma. I really appreciate it!!
It is amazing when the kiddos just "do" something. I think it's a little reminder that "they'll do it [whatever 'it' is] when they're ready".
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking about this same issue this morning. (Not climbing in high chairs, but like MandyE said, they way the just "do" something all of a sudden.) I've been worrying about how mine are going to learn to hold their spoon, and I just decided they will do it when they're ready. Aren't kids cool?
ReplyDeleteI love watching mine grow, but I do miss those teeny tiny stages. I will not be having any more though. We took all 3 kids into Jordan's for the first time without a stroller Friday night. It was amazing to think that they are big enough to walk into a store with 2 adults and no stroller.
