My Toddler this Week: Little Kid

Every week since I found out I was pregnant, I have received an email from BabyCenter updating me on the progress of my little guy. For the first nine months, of course, they were pregnancy updates; since giving birth, the subject line of the emails have included the word “baby.”

I felt more than a little emotional this month when my usual weekly note from BabyCenter appeared in my inbox and included the words, “Your Toddler This Week.”

My baby is a toddler? Really? He is in fact doing some toddling, and at times when I look at Mason from across the room, quietly spinning the wheels on his favorite car, or watching the TV intently, I realize that my little boy pogi is maturing into a… kid.

Mason’s thirst for knowledge at this age is just fascinating to me. He is interested in learning more about everything in his environment, and makes a great effort to say new words - different words every day. Although I can't still figure out most of them I am happy that he is trying his hardest.



It’s funny that as Mason grows, each phase seems to bring with it new and wonderful milestones and experiences. I think I’ll keep calling my toddler a baby, for a while longer, but he’s definitely growing up and I just love who he is becoming.
