Showing off the Skills

Babies are only babies for a fleeting moment. Wide-eyed wonder and unabashed curiosity begin to ebb away almost as soon as they are born. A smile that lights up his little face just at seeing mine get harder and harder to come by. Uncertain first steps and shaky little legs will soon be just a memory as he begins to walk more confidently without the help of mommy or daddy or his little train walker. Teaching my kids to become independent, secure people is both a blessing and a curse. Watching them achieve today what we prepared them for yesterday brings pride laced with a touch of longing for the baby in them. So although I hate to see you grow....Spread your wings little Ethan!!!!
