November 11 Baby Steps....
Baby Steps....
I know I've been the slackest person on the planet when it comes to updates on T, and now seeing as though he's already 1 and has left behind any resemblance to that fragile, scrawny, tiny person he was, I'm sure you're all thinking "why the hell is she STILL sending these things out?? He’s just an ordinary kid" And yes....that he is..... So this is the last mass email I'm going to send out (a collective cheer rings out) because he is just like any other kid now. There’s nothing spectacular or extra ordinary about him any more..... And for that we are so grateful. We’ve spent the first year of his life expecting so much from this little fella. First in the hospital, we willed him to live....then to breath without assistance....then to gain back his birth weight......to get over the jaundice.....to learn how to feed.....then to put on enough weight so he could come home. Then once we were home, we hoped he would reach those all important milestones on time. We’d hoped that his early arrival hadn’t delayed any of his fine motor skills. We willed him to roll..... to crawl.....to be able to pass objects from one hand to the other...... to crawl properly....to say Dad.....and Mum......to clap his hands together.....to wave bye bye.....to pull himself up on furniture....to stand unassisted........ And to walk...... Which he did today....... It was just 5 little steps... But he did them all by himself.... Our little boy.... Walked..... And it made me realize how quickly the last year had gone.... How I’d been willing things to happen too quickly.... For him to catch up..... For him to be “normal” To be just an ordinary kid....... So for now..... I’m going to stop analyzing everything he does.... I’m going to enjoy this little boy with the wicked laugh and the mischievous smile..... I’m going to let him be “ordinary” Because he’s not going to be little forever..... And hopefully He’ll grow..... Into an extraordinary person..... Who may even one day......do some extraordinary things..... Thank you all so much for your love and support during the past year...... It has meant so much to us.... Lots of love Chan, Chad, and The Ordinary Mr T. P.S. I’ll still be updating his website. http://theamazingmrt.spaces.live.com P.S.S. You might want to check out the November pictures and see the cracker of a bruise he got on his noggin when, at the end of his “5 steps” he promptly fell face first into the corner of the door way..... What....you thought this email would stop at being all soppy and mushy??Pphhhtttt....
