Just seen an awful thread about a kid being sworn at in public (promise this isn't a TAAT)....
it made me feel rotten, and for some reason I started thinking about DS and all the things I love about him, listing all the ways he makes my heart swell. I wanted to share them, and thought other people might want to too...
theres always so much turmoil and worry about parenting/ kids/ child development on MN - it seemed like a nice Friday night jolly thread - hopefully not too mushy from me!
Anyway, DS is 18 mo, and the things that tug my heartstrings the most are-
The way he tries to put my face cream on my face and rub it in for me
The way he says 'Mama' when he's tired and wants to breastfeed
The way he offers me his food on a fork if I finish mine first, with a very intent look on his face
The way he stands on my feet and asks for 'a dance'
The way he sniffs tubs of playdough with a big inhale like its a delicate, savoury bouquet
The hand movement he does when he sees a fish in a picture book, or in real life (like a one handed clap)
The way he reaches out to hold my hand when we're setting off walking outside
The way he waves goodbye and shouts 'BYYYYYEEEE' AFTER someone's already left (never before)
