We were at the Rainbow Pot Luck dinner at L's school (each class was assigned a color and that was the color of food you were to bring- so much fun!)...G (an alum from Goddard) was off playing with familiar faces and I was managing two plates of food while holding a squirmy little man. We made it back to our Skip Hop Central Park Outdoor Blanket http://www.skiphop.com/product/centralpark.html (one of my favorite items that now has permanent residence in my trunk for any impromptu picnics, outings and basking on the beach)
without dumping our plates of pot luck deliciousness. Once we sat L immediately began his Dance Off (Mr. Dave was jamming) w/ his teachers- priceless. Imagine in slow motion...I was ready to gobble up a forkful of rainbow goodness and one of his teachers said "L took 4 steps by himself today"...and I was stunned! Screeching halt---what? really? steps? 4 of them? I wasn't there? But, but I should have seen it!!! (All in my head of course.) I am home with L for the most part and it seems as though everyone else has seen L "walk" but me!!! DH has seen him take mini steps and now his teachers...alright, not everyone but still...so I composed myself remembering that it isn't about "me" but the fact that L has the confidence to take a few steps on his own and to figure out what he is capable of. Ok, maybe I am infusing a wee bit of drama but if I remember correctly I missed G's first steps too and I thought for sure, I wouldn't miss L's...- end pity party and again remember what is to be celebrated...L is about to start the next step in his exploring and will be able to see the world in yet another view, reach higher places & drawers, and be just a little bit more steady on his feet. He's going places and I couldn't be happier for him!
