The Moment

Amazing as it is, we are hovering right over age 2 in this house. And I don't know wether to be thrilled we made it this far, or just to tighten our seatbelts for the upcoming year.. so here I sit both thrilled and tightening. The more that I am around other two year old boys (and other children in general), the more that I see how different they really are. I find it fascinating that so much personality can be shoved into such a little (in most cases) body. And it is this interaction with others that has aided in my putting aside of (some) of my first-child motherly fears, which include, but are not limited to "when will he talk?", "why won't he sleep just anywhere!", "when does the paci really need to go?", and "is it so horrible to start kindergarten in a diaper?".. ok maybe not the last one. The answer to all of these, I have found, is that he was created uniquely, wonderfully different from any other child, and his growth is in his time. I just need to stop worrying (yeah right!) and enjoy the moment.. so that is what I will do--at least for now! =)
