Was it Little Man C taking the hand of a crying boy on Saturday to console him and play with him and making a new friend all on his own?
Was it the great evening we had "camping" downstairs and sleeping in front of the TV on Saturday night?
Was it Little Man L joining the kids in the front of the church with so much confidence? Singing along on top of his voice with praise and worship?
Was it a little girl spotting shoes in Pick 'n Pay and saying with a very authoritive voice - "Mamma, dis net my styl" (Mommy, It's just my style?) With luck they cost a mere R29,99 and made her very very happy.
Was it the realization on Sunday that I only need to buy night nappies for one kids - we are done with the rest?
Nope, it was the cry free hair cut and hair wash episode last night. For the amount of trauma this has brought through the years I almost can not believe we have reached this milestone. Sjoe, that is a biggy!
that is a huge milestone. I have not even reached my first haircut yet, nevermind a cry free one.
ReplyDeleteoh I love your post - gives me hope :)
ReplyDeletealthought I'm not too keen on seeing too many growing up signs right this minute - I don't think there is anything cuter than 2!
Oh, I loved this post...
ReplyDeleteI still need to get started Cat...help! :-)
Stunning! You can give yourself a great big pat on he back! :D
ReplyDeleteProud mommy moment!:-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a feel good post about kids growing up. As much as it's a teeny bit sad to see them grow up so quickly there are definite pro's to it!
ReplyDeleteLove those shoes!
ReplyDeleteI remember having to take my brother to a specific children's hairdresser when he was little because he cried and screamed and my mom was terrified she'd cut his ears off by accident.
Lots of milestones in this post.
I love the princess' shoes....just her style;-)
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's the most ordinary things that make me step back and realize...wow!...my kiddos are growing up! A couple of weeks ago, we got some chips and salsa as an appetizer in a restaurant. Our girls just reached up, grabbed a chip, and started dipping. I don't know when that happened -- it was just yesterday that I was feeding them pea-sized pieces of chips, for fear they'd choke! :)
ReplyDeleteThose are some pretty amazing milestones in deed! It's almost like we're getting to enjoy our kids more rather than constantly keeping up with them and worrying they'll get into something or hurt themselves or need us. I'm enjoying this time with Yaya too. Hugs!
ReplyDelete"Mamma dis net my styl" That is precious.
ReplyDeleteLots of great milestones there... and I LOVE those shoes too! :)
ReplyDeleteIn a way, it is sometimes a pleasure to see when one's kid/s grow up like yours do. I love it when I hear my son say grown-up things cause of his condition. I pray that one day he will be able to be independent and when he says and acts grown-up things, my heart blooms of pride and happiness. Cause this is a big worry to me when it comes to my son's condition.
ReplyDeleteAh...I do LOVE those shoes. x
ReplyDeleteWe are still in the hair causes crying stage. Nicola actually tries to hide her head under the pillow when I brush it, and the tantrums for washing are out of this world. It actually makes me consider if I shouldn't cut it shorter to trim down on the drama too? Maybe some detangling spray will do the trick? *sigh*
ReplyDeleteCongrats! It's a huge milestone.
