I’ve heard other Mother’s explain this feeling exactly the same way (and have been slightly annoyed at how cliché it sounds) … “each phase my child enters - every stage and age - just gets better and better”.
How can that be!?
I look at elementary school aged kids and think, my 22 month old is so much more fun than you are! Not long ago, I looked at my 6 month old and thought he was at such a better stage than that two year old across the room that was scaling the walls and screaming!
Or maybe it’s that every phase has its challenges so we welcome the next one with open arms! Change IS good! I’m so happy that the phase we are in, is the BEST one there is. It means there are sunnier days ahead, ALWAYS. And most importantly, LIFE IS GOOD.
Anything that goes "Brummm BRUMM" is of interest to Mr. Ivan! This is the Jeep just past the giraffe exhibit in Africa at the Columbus Zoo
