The Kid

Dang. Kids grow so fast. I know everyone says it but I am finding out how true it is. Tonight The Kid was playing with a neighbor and acting like such a kid and not just a baby. He was jumping and laughing and interacting and having so much fun. I love watching him play and explore and discover things that we adults take for granted as things you just know. Like last night when he blew out a candle and watched the smoke whirl in the air. He was so excited. Or the day last week when he sat in the backyard with his dad and discovered the way a roly poly bug curls into a ball. A bug that rolls into a ball? Is there anything cooler? I have learned so much from the Kid in the 2+ years he's been in my life and I've loved every single minute of it. He's taught me to move at a slower pace which is worth every painful hourI was in labor with him. Almost every hour.
