When my son was an infant, I would look at him lying in his own poo, drooling on himself and think, "I can't wait until he is older and able to interact a bit." Then he got a bit older and would babble just a bit, but the drool and poo was still the same. I thought to myself, "I can't wait til he is older and can talk and stand and do those adorable things we all see toddlers do". Now he is older, he is learning new words everyday and can definitely walk around and do those adorable things that we see all toddlers do.
But the toddler stage has brought on a whole new revelation. I now know I have not given birth to a human child, rather a parrot! Every thing I say and do all day long is repeated back to me. All those little quirks you have, those ones you do without really knowing it? They are repeated back to me all day long!
It would seem that when I am working around the house and I become a bit frustrated I tend to make a growling noise. So guess what I get to hear all day long?!?! The low soothing growls of my son. ALL DAY! Oh I can't wait until I drop the F bomb and get to hear that repeated back to me. I know my husband is anxious to hear that.
