Remember when your kids were babies and you couldn't wait for the 'next phase'? You know, rolling over, crawling, walking, talking, etc... well, can we take one back? Those of you that have children that are 'late bloomers' count your blessings...
Avery already knew what an airplane was, in fact, she was always admat about making sure I shared in her joy each time we were outside and one buzzed overhead. She amazed me with her hearing skills, never missing a one.
So, the other day I decided to be super mom yet again and volunteered to show her what 'airplane' was when you are inside. With sheer delight, she smiled and laughed as she was flung around on my legs for the very first time. Afterwards she happily plopped on my stomach and I lifted her to sit up. She then decided it would be fun to jump up and down on Mommy :) So cute, right?
Well, Mommy has now learned to NEVER show Avery something that you are not ok with doing every moment of every day for the rest of your life!!! That's right, from then on Avery has been constantly asking for 'airplane', and has yet to grasp the concept that Mommy's body is not always available to be her personal juggle gym.
I just tell myself it won't last forever, as I am quite convinced she is growing daily...as I still remember the moments when she was just a little pink blob...sigh. Where has the time gone?
