How did that happen? He was a baby one minute and now I am making brownies and assembling a costume for his first school pageant. It was today for IPC’s International Day. It was amazing. He stood on stage and said where he was from (American and Russia) and he sang and danced like a pro. I think all the other parents were probably used to this stuff but I was blown away.
He is such a little person and I really like him. His teacher, who I loved even before this comment, said “He’s a happy, well adjusted kid. You have done well with him.” Wow. My cloth diapering, no TV until 2+ yrs rule, organic everything have born fruit. Or maybe it was just that he has been so loved by us, our parents, and friends since day one? Here’s hoping it’s the love for WGirl’s sake. She gets pampers, we encourage her to watch TV, and street vendors know her by name.
Anyways, I feel like I’ve made it through the terrible 2s and 3s and now I get to enjoy time with this special little guy. Until puberty hits…
Aw, what a great post about a great kid! You guys look awesome. Xoxo from Mass.
