What’s Your Favorite Thing About Your Baby Right Now?
One of the delightful things about babies is that they just keep getting better and better. When my son turned one, I remember thinking how wonderful and how much fun he was, and surely this was the best it got? And then he got a little older, and I remember thinking how wonderful and how much fun he was, and this had to be the best it got? But now I still think how wonderful and how much fun he is. He just keeps getting more interesting and more amazing, and more fun to be around, Bar the odd tantrum, and his continuing quest to find perilous activities. At least it keeps me on my toes.
What’s my favorite thing about the kids in my life right now?
My toddler, almost three: he can talk. I can have a conversation with him, often a surreal conversation, and he’s adorable to listen to. He picks up random words and uses them in an interesting and totally candid way. Daycare baby is a bag of potatoes! My peas are very green indeed! Mommy stop singing you are very obnoxious! I love driving and listening to him chatter in the carseat in the back. It’s so fascinating to know what’s going on in his head.
My daycare baby, just turned one: how fascinating everything is. Take her to Target and it’s like Disneyland. Give her a box of spoons and it’s like treasure. I took her to the zoo and her eyes were round with amazement at the sea lions and the zebras. She even likes me singing.
My boyfriend’s daughter and toddler’s best friend, five: her unquenchable enthusiasm for her projects. Once she’s into something, it’s so fun to watch her involve herself and anyone else who comes nearby into it. Our whole house was full of pretend aliens a few days ago (we all had to pretend) and her art projects are a legend in their own time.
