Enjoying the simple pleasure of walking about
Since December, Elijah has been doing occupational therapy in order to start walking and after two months of hard work on his part, he is now officially walking! He really started cruising around about two weeks ago and then last week he just started walking longer distances and this week he's walking all over the place.
Today, the kids were home with me, so we went to get some haircuts. Elijah loved going to Wallingford Center because he now has a different view of the world. He can see so much more. He kept walking up and down the main hallway to check out all the businesses and once he caught a glimpse of the cupcake store he wanted one right away. But, it was time for his haircut and he threw a fit because he wanted a cupcake. Luckily, the hairstylist had a sucker to distract him and a box of Star Wars toys. He settled down very quickly and the haircut was a success. Then Finnegan took his turn and he is sporting a very handsome hairdo.
They are soo cute! I just can't stop staring at my boys. I keep telling myself that I need to take more photos of them, but I just want to sear the memories into my brain forever. He and Finnegan and becoming much better playmates. Yesterday we went to the park and they were swinging together and laughing like crazy, just enjoying the moment. It was heaven. I must say, "you are so cute," and "I love you so much," about one hundred times a day. Usually, I get stressed out and tired after a full day with both kids, but I've been with them 24/7 for the past three days and I'm not going crazy. I feel happy.
For the first time in a very long time, I feel happy and content with my life. I'm not suffering from any chronic pain and I can keep up with the kids. There are no pressures or demands on me and I don't have to rush around for anything or anyone. Can it be that I'm finally starting to get the hang of motherhood? Or am I just so in love with my kids that nothing else matters?
Whatever it is, I like it.
