No, your name is John, not Bonnie!
Yesterday I bought The Golden Book of Favorite Songs in order to learn the lyrics to classic American songs (some originating from this country, many adopted from other lands). That way I can sing real, fun and edifying songs to my boy instead of making up little goofy songs, which is what I do. Today I sat on the chair in the living room and sang "My Bonnie" to John. Bring back, bring back, bring back my Bonnie to me, to me!
I don't have a trained or even very good singing voice, but my singing made John smile and start cruising toward me slowly, as if enchanted.
Then he tried to take his first step! He cruised to the end of the couch and instead of cruising along the ottoman to reach me at the chair, John paused to calculate, then stepped out and away from the furniture and toward me! He took a step, tottered, then fell into my legs.
Exciting times!
this would be very fitting for John's personality to begin walking now... needs little sleep,lots of motion, walks early... it is a classic personality type. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's VERY exciting! I can hardly wait to hear about your little cutie's adventures in walking!
