It's been a while since I shared with you how much Sean has been changing lately. I've posted some pictures, but haven't added any narrative. I suppose I should talk about the most obvious... the TALKING. Oh my goodness, he is talking, and talking and talking. It's hilarious. We recently drove out to California, and Sean chatted it up in the back seat until about the last 5 miles, when I said to Sean, "Let's practice being quiet for just a little bit, honey...", to which Sean said, "Ok, Mommy".... and STOPPED TALKING! I couldn't believe my ears. It worked??? Are you kidding me? I looked at Steve and said, "did that just happen"? So then I felt so bad having shushed his creative, learning babble, that I started talking to him again.
It's so much fun. He's so curious and so smart. He is learning. He is hearing me tell him how to pronounce certain words, and he practices repeating them after me. It's amazing to me that his mind is working so hard to expand. I even thought to myself the other day... "I can't believe I'm able to teach him". Before I was a parent, I wondered how Parents knew how and what to teach children. I didn't know if I'd be good at it. But come to find out, it's just something that happens everyday, every step of the day and week. It's just a constant communication every moment. Some moments, hours, days, weeks are spent talking ONLY about TRUCKS.. and ALL THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF TRUCKS we see everyday on the road... TRASH TRUCKS, TRACTOR TRUCKS, BIG TRUCKS, more TRASH TRUCKS (he really likes the trash truck) I was really becoming concerned that he'd learn nothing more than truck talk. But he's coming around, and quickly.
The other day, we were shopping and their was a baby crying a couple aisle over. Sean looked at me and said "what's that mommy?", I said, "oh.. that babies not happy..." Sean looked at me and said, "I HAPPY, MOMMY!" I said, "You're happy Sean?" he said, "uh huh..." and grabbed me by the side of the face and hugged me.
OH MY GOODNESS... LIFE IS SO GOOD...
