From Out of the Corner of My Eye


Picture This...

While laying on the couch watching the local news
your two little ones are busy playing all around you.
Suddenly from out of the corner of your eye you notice
your daughter's head
at a level it normally doesn't reach.
Then beyond that head, your toddler's astonished face as he says
"She's walking, she's walking!"
That head comes into focus as it bobs unsteadily forward
and you realize -
she is walking!
And then the excitement becomes too much for a one year old to handle
and she falls to floor
in amazement with herself.

Ohhh! Congrats, too cute! Your baby is growing too fast! I love it when older siblings get into the accomplishments their younger ones.
