I feel like the word I say most these day is “NO.” I remember telling Keira “no” and she would look at me and immediately change direction and listen. I remember judging the parent that said “NO” all the time to her children. I remember laughing at the thought of having to actually rearrange furniture (my entire house) for children. Ahh… those easy days. Enter Quinn. I’m at a meeting yesterday. In the amount of time it took me to get Keira’s snack and drink out of the bag Quinn had managed to open a door and crawl the entire distance of a gymnasium floor to a group of very sweet 5 year old boys. He was playing right along with them! I was panicked! Couldn’t find him anywhere!!
He is climbing, standing, almost walking, speed crawling, grabbing electrical cords, digging and eating mud and dirt, all with that million dollar smile on his face. When I say my favorite word “no” he just looks at me, flashes that smile, laughs, and continues…
