my little super hero has been pretty stinkin cute this week!! When you have another child who is also making leaps and bounds in their development you dont always notice the small leaps the bigger child makes.
I have definately noticed in recent weeks that my conversation with Parker has changed. I realized yesterday that I was no longer talking in my cute 'baby' voice... but rather actually having a conversation with him. I have done this before but its usually to make him understand that he was doing something wrong or was in harms way. Its almost as if something has clicked. The other night he threw up for the first time (coughing fits, not because he was sick) and he could see the look of worry on my face. He said, "its ok mom. i just threw up because i was coughing... im not sick. im ok! I love you mom." Melted my heart instantly. Hes becoming very observant and theres no pulling a fast one on him... you know sometimes as a parent you won't lie to your kids but maybe fib a little for their benifit...like say, "im sorry buddy the bank is all out of suckers." this is no longer an acceptable answer for him. He replied with,"mom... you didnt ask the bank lady, how do you know they are all gone???" Such a smart little thing.
So it seems that i now need to adjust my parenting for my growing child :-)
other recent develpoments:
*really taking note if he looks good, or matches
* has become very interested in older kid things like mikes video games, actually lighting the fireworks rather than just watching, and "Zany bands"
* has fun phrases like "just keep trying, " and "nah"
there are a ton more i just cant think of them at this moment!!
