A group of my mom friends from work met for lunch last week. We all have children under two-the oldest is 22 months and Lucas is the youngest at 18. Two of us have boys and two have girls. We were comparing "notes." The mom of the other little boy said it is like one night someone flipped a switch and everything changed-more walking, more talking, more independence. We all agreed. We also agreed that it seems like girls are just faster to develop at this age. It was a fun conversation.
Even the music teacher noticed how different Lucas is. We went to a make up class last night and Lucas was a different child-he was tapping to the music, wanted to explore, at one point was rolling around in the middle of the rug and had his hand on the teacher's knee while she was finishing up class. Who is this boy, I say laughing.
And talk about independence-Lucas doesn't want us to tear his bread into little pieces anymore-he wants a whole piece that he can hold and bite pieces himself. I love this stage-it only took me 18 months to get here but I did. I love that he is making connections, exploring on his own, signs when he wants more of something.
We went to Buffalo this weekend and he spent a good 45 minutes chasing after his cousin Caleb. Caleb liked it for a while. My mom is so amazed at how much he eats-he really enjoyed corn, strawberries and even had a brownie!
