Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

 I am now the mother of a 1 year old...

...who just grabbed at a hunk of my office papers and threw them to the ground.

...who smiles when he knows he's bad.

...who knows how to yell at the dog just like I do.

...who refuses to roll over but wants to walk.

...who kicks you in the soft part of your throat and then laughs as you tear up and try to regain your breath.

...who takes a piece of food from you and then throws it on the ground.

...who refuses to sleep when you want him to.

...who can distinguish between toys that he loves and toys that he hates.

...who frightens at the sound of me reading him a book.

...who cries when you aren't paying attention to him or leave him alone.

...who loves watching Glee, especially when the musical numbers come on.

...who knows that when he doesn't smile at you, he breaks your heart.



I am now the mother of a 1 year old.  Lord help me.
