Building Morgan's Sandcastle

I read something very insightful in my LLL magazine today, and I thought that I would share the concept. Everytime I understand Morgan, it's like little grains of sand. Nothing much in itself. It's only in time that it grows and one day it'll make a big sandcastle. Right now it grows in tiny amounts. Each little grain adds to it. There is a great deal still to discover about the the way we mother and how it influences our children. Mothers and grandmothers probably continue to question and learn about their children all their lives. Surely all of us must have found some "little grains of sand." If we look after our little grains, hold them carefully, and make sure that they don't drop from our hands back onto the amorphous beach of unsorted grains, we have an opportunity to contribute to a large sandcastle.

Oh, and here's Morgan's photo after his mid-day bath today when he pooped ALL over himself, our bed, his changing table and me. Ahhh... the joy of motherhood!

Morgan Has Learned to Grab Things With His Hands!

Morgan loves his play mat. Thank you Greg & Bethanie. Today we reached a big milestone! He learned to grab the toys with his hands. This is huge because it means that he is learning that his is his own person... not part of mamma. We think that it also means that he will be able to entertain himself for short periods of time. Maybe I can actually get something done around here. I actually got TWO showers yesterday. That's a huge milestone for a new mom. HUGE
