I have been pretty sick and took Tuesday and Wednesday off from work so I've only had to go to work 3 days this week instead of five. Originally, I was going to be thankful for having an awesome job that gives me PTO so that I can take time off (paid) to be sick. Then.. something happened.
Jericho has learned to crawl AND started pulling himself up on things just a couple days ago. The growth he's made in his motor skills just in the past week is mind boggling. When I first saw him crawling I was devastated. All it meant to me was that my little boy was growing up faster then he wanted. Although I knew that if he wasn't I would've been worried about his development.. It's always a double edge sword.
I was so Thankful yesterday that even though I really REALLY didn't want him to crawl and become mobile for another 2-3 years :) (A new mom can dream right?) and be my little baby forever. I am Thankful that he didn't listen to me. Coming home from work yesterday was fabulous. I walked into the family room where my little boy was laying on the floor playing with his toys. I said HEY BABY BOY and he immediate picked his adorable little head up and looked right towards me. He crawled with gusto towards me and tried to pull himself up using my jeans. Begging to be picked up and kissed and hugged. It almost brought a tear to my eye but I struggled to stay strong and not lose my shit over the adorableness that was happening.
So there you have it. I am thankful that despite going against his mommy's wishes my little boy continues to improve in his motor skills, growth and development every day. It saddens me daily that I have to miss a lot of it because I work full time, but coming home to a little baby who crawls right towards you in super-crawl-power-speed made everything all worth it.
