Hello! Happy new year and meri christmas and all that!
We've been here in Adelaide since 16th Dec and get back next Monday. It's been a whirlwind of experiences... Especially for E-chan. Thanks to a lovely statistitian friend (and recent mother second time around) lending us her travel cot, he's had the same bed while he's been here, but has had to cope with different rooms and some disgustingly hot nights. He's been baby sat by grandparents (a labour of love for them, and getting a bit easier for us), cuddled lots, driven around, had his first swim in a pool, and....
POPPED HIS FIRST 2 TEETH!!!
EEEEEEEK! We had mixed feelings about that development... I suppose this is just the start of many developmental milestones that we will have to just deal with, no matter how much he feels like our little baby boy!
Peter Pan
We realised something about parenthood when his first tooth sprung forth: it's a mixture of looking forward all the time for the next thing (stage, skill, word), looking back with nostalgia for how he used to be, and at the same time, wanting him to stay the same forever. All 3 tenses co-exist. I totally get where the idea for Peter Pan (the boy who never grew up) came from.
