Anticlimactic

8/10/12

I was incredibly excited to learn what Charlotte's first full sentence was going to be.  She had been speaking so many new words and many of them were advanced, but she still hadn't put a proper sentence together. 

She frequently looked like she was thinking so hard about something and that at any moment she may spurt out the most articulate string of words ever spoken by a toddler.   I had started to think that she was biding her time waiting for the perfect moment because she wanted it to be a grand accomplishment that made everyone's jaw hit the floor in awe. 

We were in the kitchen and I was going through the typical lunchtime routine when I heard, "Mommy help, I can't reach my cheese." 

One of the things I love the most about being a mom is that no matter what you anticipate from your kids as they reach new milestones, it's way more exciting when it actually happens. 

I don't think there is any other application in life where you can have your hopes impossibly high and still have the real thing blow your expectations out of the water.
