To Reach

Any time Declan and I talk about his getting bigger he reaches for the ceiling and tells me he's not that big because he can't touch the ceiling. This morning he stood on the ottoman and reached. "Look Mommy! I still can't reach. Can you reach on here?"

So I walked over, stepped up on the ottoman and showed him I could just barely reach.

"Do you think you could get me up there?"

"Let's try."

So I had the kid climb up on the ottoman with me and then I picked him up high as I could. He was giggling and nervous to let go of me and reach up but when he finally did he could touch. Declan was thrilled. 

Good thing I still have some balancing skills.

Then this afternoon Declan and I went out to pick up some lacrosse gloves and a helmet for his first day of Lacrosse next Saturday. Gloves we found easy but he had to try on about 6 different helmets before he got one that would fit.

Apparently he got my forehead. Poor kid.

He's excited though and he's ready!!
