But let me tell you - now is my time to shine as a mother. This is the parenting that I was cut out for. I love explaining things to him, showing him things, teaching him things, communicating with him (ok, so I did all of those things for the first 12 months, but now he's responding to me), discipling him, teaching him to grow up to be a good, honest, smart, generous and kind person.
I rush home from work, anxious to get him from daycare and enjoy every single minute of our time together. I can honestly say (I feel like I've always been rather honest on this blog, some people won't admit their less than stellar parenting moments - like my first 13 days after C was born!) I enjoy the toddler stage more than the baby stage. I loved him in the first year, I enjoyed everything we did but I didn't love it in quite the same way as I do now.
Anyways - this has been a busy weekend, full of family, friends, sun, fresh air and all that goes with it.
Looking up at the plane
Splashing for my first time in the puddles with my rainboots (before, he would just stand in his rainboots and cry)
We walked around the block while he pushed this toy - it had been in the closet for a while but we just took it out and it's like he's seeing it for the first time.
What's down there?
Sharing my snack with Grandma
Being pulled around the house by Daddy
His two favourite things these days? My makeup brushes. As soon as we get into my room he stands on his tiptoes to get them off my makeup table.

You should frame that pic of him looking into the sewer (?spelling?), i think its so innocent and cute! anyways i think im getting baby fever.. which is not good right now, im too young! hehe
Thank you Julie! I thought only family members said stuff like that. I of course think he's the cutest thing ever, but I'm happy to know his pictures make someone else smile :)
My mother in law said the same thing about the sewer picture. I wish I had done it in black and white!
Thanks again :)
