Learning is a good thing....right?

So many things cause my son to light up each day with a look of pride on his face that says, "I DID IT". He is learning so much each day and each time he figures something out, there's that look, that grin, those "do you see, Mom?" eyes. Just today he learned that to throw something away on command. (Something that is SUPPOSED to be thrown away). Today, he learned that, even though for many months mommy and daddy have cornered the coffee table into the couch so there is a small area he cannot reach, he can army crawl UNDER the table into the forbidden area and access everything. Today he learned, somehow - not quite sure yet how and hoping it was a fluke, that he could take his diaper off and throw it out of the crib. Yes, he was grinning ear to ear on that one! And here is the kicker, today he learned ,and repeated consistently, that when Daddy scolds him, usually for touching something he shouldn't, that he should immediately go and lay his head on Daddy's leg and Daddy forgets all about it. It's almost scary how much he learns each day.

I will not be writing for a few days as I will be heading to OH tomorrow for my Gram's funeral. She was the Matriarch of the Steiner family of (rough count) 44 and therefore will still be celebrate this Mother's day.

So to all those Mothers, Mothers-to-be, and Mothers-some-day....

Happy Mother's Day.
