On A Right of Passage
When your first child walks early it is clearly representative of the child's parents' intelligence, success, and outstanding athletic ability.
When your second child learns to walk, you say, "That's nice".
When your third child learns to walk, you mutter a "whatever".
And when your fourth child arrives, you whisper fervently in their ear, "please stay small, fit in my pocket and be my baby forever, don't grow-or walk--please, please, please!".
And when they disobey you, you cry and let them go on a cloudy October day.

Ditto.
I'm amazed by how much she's grown!
And when your baby girl walks out the door to go to college...I'll let you know. I fear I may go with her.
Your baby is a little doll.
I think Rosemary needs to have a conversation with my Jocelyn..who is still crawling!!!! Everyone says "oh..you don't want them to start walking" But she's 14 months..I think it's about time! Congratulations Rosemary!!
I feel this way about my second child! (Don't know if I'll ever get to four children) It's a serious bummer when your baby is no longer. . .your baby.
