High Chair Woes

We know the boy is too little for a high chair. He's not even eating solids. There's simply no need for the high chair.

Pat put him in his big boy chair so he could sit watching us cook in the kitchen. Lovely idea.

Then a swell of emotion came over me. I've been feeling it a lot actually this last week every time he learns or does something completely unexpected or new. As a parent you of course want these things to happen. It's exciting, amazing, nothing like I've ever experienced.

But I was almost pleading with Pat to get him out. He wasn't flopping over like a limp piece of lettuce and he was clearly safe and secure. Pat did not see it but I cried a little. This beautiful little gift that God has given us is getting bigger, stronger and learning more and more every day.

He's ready to grow. I am not.
