Today I kicked all the bigger kids outside, then sat to play with Jeanette since she was longingly watching them out the slider door. Sitting, watching how she moves around, watching her be silly, it suddenly hit me... she's a kid!
What?! When did this happen?! When did my sweet little baby turn into another little stink pot kid?!
I realize I've been so sick and busy the last month, but sheesh! I wasn't ready for this one. I wanted her to stay little and sweet a bit longer yet, and really, since she is my first delayed walker (I still owe you all a blog on that one, maybe later today), it just seemed like she would. I mean, they aren't kids until they can walk! (And for my kids a while after that typically, since sweet little Ruth walked at nine months!)
As I have been sitting here typing this, I have seen even more examples of what a kid she is turning in to. I brought her upstairs with me (obviously) and set her on my floor. She crawled right over to the closet entrance and grabbed a couple "guys" (Imaginext people) and stuck them in the driver and passenger seat of Dora's camping van and made little people noises for them. She was pretending they were driving! When she (rather quickly) lost interest in that, she wondered into my bathroom, which I was fine with until she started getting into stuff. I told her "Jeanette Helen, come here!" and guess what?! SHE DID! Wait, what?! My BABY is LISTENING?!
So, there you have it. Until July, this Mama is baby-less.
