One down, 17 more to go.
Well kiddo, we made it a year. It's been a good run. I'm starting to see signs of who you will be in a few years and I have to say it ain't bad. This is who you are at a year:
1. A dancing fool....you love music and clapping to music and you've got rhythm.
2. A walker....you just get up and go go go. No need to watch the big kids from the sidelines anymore.
3. A water maniac...charging into the ocean, squirting with the hose, diving into pools.
4. A good helper...picking up toys, blocks and balls and putting them into bags, boxes etc.
5. A kid who knows what he wants when he wants it and lets you know it by signing more and done (you really like to say you are done).
But kiddo, here's who I've become in the past year:
1. A flip-flop, yoga-pant-wearing mom who for the first time since she was 12, doesn't wear makeup everyday and has let her hair grow back out to pre-college days.
2. A laid-back mom who lets you play in the dirt (and sometimes eat it), play with sticks, fall down and get back up again, knowing all the while that you're just having fun and being a kid and a little dirt never hurt anyone.
3. Patient and happy - yeah, we may make a mess and it may take a while to figure something out but the fun we have in the process is well worth it.
