First steps

Nojus took his first steps not holding onto anything tonight. He was following the box of the sewing machine that his Papa kept pushing away and wobbled about 10 steps forward. How quickly do they grow up! I told Lukas that most likely by the end of this summer Baby might be able to run with him. From there, Lukas went on sharing his dreams about how they will be playing together and sharing toys and on and on and on..  as I type this, I am pretty certain that Nojus won't be running by the end of summer and that toy sharing most likely won't be happening but it's nice to dream.


* UPDATE on 4/3: From there, within days he is walking more than he is crawling.

Conversations with a toddler

At bedtime last night. After story time, with lights already off.

L:  I want that thing, Mama.
Me: What thing?
L: That thing.
Me: I don't know what 'that thing' is. Can you use other words to describe it?

After a couple more times going back and forth.

L: I want a good night song.
Me: Hmmm.... You mean a lullaby?
L: yea yea yea!!!!! (very joyfully) A lullaby!!!

❤️ this kid.
