So, as you can see by the picture, Max is getting into everything and we are rapidly honing our cat-like reflexes. Can I just say how quick these little buggers are? Until you have your own kids, these pearls of wisdom that everyone is so willing to share, just go in one ear and out the other. I really wish I would have paid more attention. But just like a teenager resisting the knowledge of their parents, I did not heed the words. We haven't been encouraging walking, as we can barely keep up with this kid on "four wheels". His daycare provider even commented on how fast he is crawling, and she has been doing daycare for some 26 years and has seen it all. I am not prepared for what will ensue once this kid figures out how to operate the legs. He already has the classic curiosity syndrome and is in to everything that he is not allowed to be. He, like so many of his predecessors, is so into all things off limits. Ahhh, it brings me back to the teenage years...*eeeeerrrrrttttt*** - the record skips in my head and the fear wash over me.
Please dear Lord, help me to raise this child so he is NOT like I was. Is it inevitable? Can I expect things to be twice as hard for me? Is karma really a bitch? I am really hoping he has more of Jeff's temperament, demeanor and general respect for his parents. I was a pretty good child, but adolescence was a little more hairy for me. But I want to believe my circumstances made it a little more complicated and caused me to act out...
