Life with 2 and a husband
Life with 2 and a husband
Kelsey is just 2 weeks from turning 4 years old and I am in disbelief. The changes that kids go through when they are young is amazing. At what age does the changing slow down? With every passing year or even month, kids change and grow considerable. Before having my own kids I never would gave imagined it. This time last year Kelsey was having difficulty speaking and was having incredible fits. We would put her in time out and she would refuse to come out of time out for hours. Now she is speaking so well and even spelling colors and knows all of here letter sounds.
Cadie is 7 months old and starting to say what I fully believe to be "mama". Robbie claims Kelsey said dada first so he is willing to let me believe Cadie says mama. She isn't crawling but is sitting up and feeding herself and the high chair cereal.
Looking back over the past year makes me wonder at what point does the learning curve start to slow or even go backwards? I sometimes look back over a few months and ask myself just what did I learn or how have I grown...I am afraid of what my answer might be. This is the time of the year we are told to be thankful and I am thankful for many things including my life and where I am at in it but I have to ask myself, am I missing some pivotal times to grow and change? I often feel like my mind is stuck in high school or college stages where I spend a considerable amount of time worrying about appearances and opinions. At what point do we grow out of this or will I be walking down the hall of a nursing home one day worrying that my hair is just slightly the wrong shade of gray-ish blue? Insecurity is a horrid thing that I wonder how much of a part it might play in the decrease in my growth. I look at my girls and see that they grow so much and have no cares about what others think of them. I know there is a scientific answer out there but I just wonder how much people might hold themselves back simply because of perceptions...
