David is one year old! And as I sat eating breakfast with him at 5am this morning, I was struck by how much babies accomplish in a year. To put it in perspective: last year, at 5am on November 21st, I was cracking jokes with the nurses in the pre-op room (“it’s not your first day, right!??!”) and David couldn’t even breathe oxygen! He was still en utero. And now, one year later, he’s sitting here at the kitchen table “feeding himself” oatmeal. It’s a tremendous accomplishment.
Even if I had twenty kids, I don’t think I would ever cease to be amazed at how QUICKLY they grow from a little blob who cannot even uncross their eyes to a human being who can actually function!
It can make you feel a bit lazy - what have YOU accomplished this year?
