IT means that as much as i want to buckle him in the highchair sometimes
and hurriedly get some things done,
the nug often roams and explores the kitchen beneath me.
SS will pull every towel & bib that we own out of the drawer.
IT always means that i have a lot of damage control to do at nap time and late at night.
i hope IT also means that i have a child who knows how valued he is right now.
that he knows that learning, exploring and being is his "job" right now.
that HE knows that none of the stuff is more important than
guiding & loving his little heart i could look at today and say that we just made soup,
but i think we did much more.
