Anticipation. In my short span as a parent, I think that about sums it up. We sit around anticipating the next move with our children.
When I was pregnant I anticipated how much weight I would gain, when would the baby actually come, what would delivery be like, etc, etc, etc.
The baby is born and then you really start to anticipate what this new little one will do. How much should she eat, when will she roll over, crawl, what college will she attend, will she find a mate, etc, etc. So maybe I go a little overboard, would you expect anything less?
So in our house we have been anticipating Mary Stewart's first tooth since about four and half months. I kept thinking it was coming. If her nose was ever runny or she was crabby, I just knew the tooth was here. Well finally the anticipation is over!!!! Mary Stewart has cut her first tooth! This morning as we were playing, I rubbed my finger along her bottom gums, NOT anticipating I would find anything, and what do ya know?
It is funny how giddy I got over her lil tooth.
So what to anticipate now?
