Wobbly Times
Tuesday, November 07, 2006
A friend asked about my 13 month old son and I told her he's walking now but he's still a bit wobbly .. She asked me if I feel excited or scared now that's he walking around the house ,,
I feel a little of both .. I am excited to see him developing especially after months of comparison and comments about 'how late he was in walking' or 'how lazy he must be even though he's not an big kid' I heard those comments and so did he.. People don't seem to realize how sensitive children are or how much they understand.. Everything he would hear the tone change when people said to him he is 'kasoool' (lazy) he would hide his face and stick to me.. and my heart used to break..
now that he has started moving about I do hear the occasional "daloo3" comment because he's still not stable on his feet and I just want to shout out.. "leave him alone" ,, but of course I smile and make no comments..
oh but that little kid is a terror.. He is trying to run rather than walk and he pulls everything in sight.. and apparently he finds even the smallest things on the floor and puts it in his mouth then runs when you try to take it out.. when u do he gives u the cheekiest smile ever just to make u laugh.. ends it with "dubaa" then runs again lol..
but this time is hellish for parents.. he walks but is still wobbly so u sit holding ur breath knowing he is going to fall and just hope he doesn't hit anything or get hurt.. because he will fall and there is nothing u can do about it ..
so yeah I guess I am excited and scared as my son goes through his wobbly times. | 8 comment(s)
