nathan and audrey

My son is learning life skills with a gusto that ceases to amaze me.

At nearly thirteen months, he can:

• Cram up to eight cheerios in his mouth. (Without choking!)
• Remove his own pants.
• “Hide” from Mom by holding a blanket in front of his face.
• Pretend to offer Mom or Dad food, almost deposit it in our mouths, then yank it away at the last minute with this adorable grin on his face that prevents repercussions.
• Redecorate an entire room by yanking everything off of tables, shelves, and chairs to make a more eclectic and “lived-in” sort of feel. He’s genius, really.
• Open cabinets and drawers and pull out their contents to add to his design scheme. His granola bar work is relatively unheard of–a new design strategy sure to catch on, probably first in Europe, then the States.
• Use his uncanny “sense” to zero in on everything that Mom doesn’t want him to touch.
• Work on Mom’s patience levels by massacring her books.

And:

• Smile so dashing and sweet that I am glad every day that I have such an amazing son.
