Tiny Miracles and Tiny Feet
Sebastian has decided to walk.
He's been walking while holding on to someone's finger or pant leg or a push toy or just about anything he can grab and take with him that is steadier than he is at the moment. He'll walk for days that way. He's been doing this kind of walking with minimal assistance for a couple of weeks now.
And wouldn't you know it he decided this week to be a bit more independent and walk on his own. He will now take several steps regularly and sometimes tries to walk everywhere. He is still favoring the speed of crawling but I think he is realizing that walking might actually be the better mode of transportation. So needless to say, I went shoe shopping for the kids last week. In preparation for the momentous occasion when Sebastian would decide to walk on his own. And here we are. He's walking on his own terms and at his own pace. He's a very independent and observant little boy. He's going to do things his way and that's just all there is to it. The boy just cracks me up. A little Weldon with the sweetest grin.
I joked with Weldon that Sebastian would walk when he decided that it was no longer the easiest way to do things. One of Weldon's favorite sayings is "what does a lazy person do?... They find the easiest way to do things." And that's what Sebastian appears to be doing. Oh well, I guess there's no denying Weldon's his father.
And while we're dishing out proof that the Twins are indeed Weldon's flesh and blood. I present tonight's example that Rachel really is a little Weldon without the boy parts.
Rachel was playing in front of Weldon's chair with her bottle and her toes. It's a favorite game of hers to see what happens when she drips milk on her toes and the floor. Weldon gets up to do the dishes and Rachel gets in his chair , leans back and resumes her game. A few minutes go by and she drops her bottle. She gets down to pick it up and Weldon tries to take his seat back. Rachel pitches a fit so Weldon picks her up and plops her in his chair. She immediately starts smiling and laughing. Leans back and gets comfortable in the chair. She grabs her bottle begins drinking with one hand and searching for the remote with the other hand. Rachel is definitely Weldon's daughter.
Little Miracles...all the mundane things we take for granted each and everyday. Smiles and giggles and crying and temper tantrums and paint drying on the wall. There a million little miracles that happen everyday all around us if we just take the time to open our eyes and see them. Please take the time to see them. It's what life's all about.
