Going On Four

Clearly I’m not needed here anymore.

Sniffle, sniffle.

About time!

But still. Sniffle, sniffle.

DAILY SNACK

My first-born baby woke up this morning,

And climbed up the furniture

To grab the Cars DVD.

He then opened it, put it into the DVD player, turned the TV to the right channel and pressed “play.”

Then, as I was just now putting Irene down for her nap,

He finished his lunch,

Put his plate in the dishwasher,

Got a clean cup for himself,

Poured some apple juice without spilling,

And sat down to watch the rest of his movie.

Clearly I’m not needed here anymore.

Sniffle, sniffle.

About time!

But still. Sniffle, sniffle.

And, for your viewing pleasure,

He also doubles as a huggable, furry Tigger that toddlers cannot resist:

Once in a while I get a glimpse of just how quickly my kids are growing and it alarms me a little. It simultaneously relieves me of some of the pressure that comes with total dependence, and makes me very wistful. Parenting is just so very bittersweet.
