A rockin' and a rollin'
We had the pleasure of having grandma visit for a week. She just left last Sunday. And she was able to see el nino growing stronger and more mobile with each passing day. He inches himself forward, stretching with all his might to reach something just beyond his grasp, and he rolls and rolls and rolls. Our daug is a big motivation to move as well. He laughs whenever he catches sight of her and reaches out to touch her fur. As our living space is small and our desire for BIG toys minimal, we're grateful to have our daug to stimulate el.
We're also fortunate to live in an area (and now that it's spring!) with lots of stimulation outside. El loves to see dad or mom strap on the bjorn because that means he's going O-U-T! Once we put him in the carrier, he kicks his legs with delight, eager to get going.
Grandma and mom watched a special about Walter Cronkite last week. A reporter asked him who was the most interesting person he ever met, this man who has interviewed presidents. Mr. Cronkite responded without hesitation, "My wife." Lovely. So I began to think, who is the most interesting person I have ever met? "My son," I think to myself. He is such a wonder and a delight. And I so enjoy watching him learn and grow. It really is a miracle, life, isn't it?
