One Saturday morning, only a couple of weeks ago, I came home from one errand or another and saw Ken in the living room. “Where’s Reid,” I asked. “Upstairs,” he said. “She’s showering.”
“Did you start the water?” I wondered. “No,” Ken said. “She announced she was going to shower and then she did.”
“Alone?” I thought. “Why don’t the baby books have places for milestones like this one?”
Capital Mom provides a theme each Friday for these Monday Moments. Others have written about their own moments. I also wrote about other Monday Moments.
LOL It’s those unexpected moments that really catch me too.
Barbara saw her baby growing up witht his moment. All I could think was how good Reid must have felt doing all of this by herself. It is still difficult to imagine that seven years have flown by.
Wow. It brings tears to my eyes to think about kids growing up and doing things by themselves. Lately when I ask Baby T if he needs help, he says, “nope.” It is so bittersweet and makes you so proud.
