There is much to celebrate today. We're celebrating not only Hanukkah, but also a change in perspective. I can no longer think of Sean as a baby. Between the cruising around, tormenting his sister, climbing on the dogs, etc. He's quite the little boy.
But there was something today that finally made me put it all together & realize he was not a baby anymore. He's relating to his world in a whole different way than he used to. He's no longer a passive participant just along for the ride anymore. He's an active participant with wants & likes. He also has some dislikes that he's not so shy to tell you about.
Something about the way he looked out the window. It was like he realized there was a whole world out there & holy goodness he was going to look at it all at once!
Tonight as we celebrated the first night of Hanukkah. I was granted access into a world only known to those that have kids. Well... really those that have hard headed, do it on their terms, kids.
As we were eating, I stopped to talk. I didn't look at my plate or my food. Where was it going? Sean wasn't hungry. He had stopped eating & was almost asleep.
So then why when I went back to get my fork, it was missing. Not only was my fork missing, but my whole plate was too. It was sitting in front of Sean and he was doing this.
Someone care to tell me when he decided he was gonna do this? Not only do it, but do it with finesse!!! What else is that little stinker hiding? What else can he do that he is just choosing not to? I bet it's standing without assistance or walking. You know.... he does seem to get to places awfully quickly when I'm not looking.
Everyone had a good time.
And when we got home we opened some presents & Meredith & Sean opened their gifts from their Bubbe. They each got their own Zoobie. I'm sure once Sean comes down from his "WOW!!! Paper." high, he'll really appreciate his. Meredith is sleeping on hers & using her blanket. Thank you bubbe.
