I also enjoy the glint in C's eyes (which are indeed gorgeous). And I can assure you that he does retain his individual spark. No need to worry about that. <br /> : ) My take on it is that he will be able to choose from a larger basket of knowledge and skills because of this experience. He is seeing a certain way of doing things, and he'll have that to refer back to as he grows, whether or not he follows the herd. <br /><br />I also love your writing! xo lisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2266667216167813882.post-19599741436113032152013-03-20T08:25:08.202-07:002013-03-20T08:25:08.202-07:00i love your writing!

And because I am currently the mother of a 9 mo old that feeds all night (and day), refuses to go to bed without me and wants to be touching me all day, I appreciate the line, "something completely unnatural like fly or go to sleep alone in a dark bedroom." So many people tell me, "by this age he should....." I know that will continue. Some days I feel confident and could care less. Other days I worry I'm screwing him up for life (or me - is this healthy?). It's a few years before I try to steer the balance between nurturing his wild spirit and teaching him enough about being asocial creature so that he can choose how he wants to behave. This is reminding me of the 5 Rhythms teachings on chaos. Thanks, Nancylee. - Katie KnightAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
