Allow me to be a proud Mamma for just a moment.

Yesterday while I was in the kitchen cleaning up after breakfast, I heard Xavier grunting a little in the front room. I thought he was stuck somewhere, yes it happens, or that he was pooping. Again. Neither one was the case, he was climbing on Dustin's wooden rocking horse and finally got up on top of it and was rocking away! It was a very proud moment in that before that moment when he decided he could do it he would come grab my hand and take me to the horse and sort of jump while pointing and grunting something that I take as meaning, "Put me on the horse silly lady, don't you know that's what I want?" He climbed back down before I could grab my camera and showed me how he climbed on the horse, and for a second time he rocked away. It was awesome to see him climb all by him self and very depressing at the same time. Although he needs me to feed and change and bath him and rock him to sleep, he no longer needs me to play up down on the rocking horse, my little guy is growing up.
