The Small Things

This morning when I was getting Fox dressed and I said "Foot!" he lifted his right foot up to me - hooray! I have been working on this with him for months, so it's a very big deal that today he finally got it. Now, he may not do it again tomorrow, but for today he did and for that I am grateful. It's funny, with the girls I probably never would have even noticed they did it and I certainly wouldn't have noted it as a huge milestone, but with him it is definitely a big moment. I don't take the little things for granted anymore like I may have with Q & R. It takes Fox so much longer to learn to do things, so every little achievement is a huge success and reason for celebration. I've learned that he is just on his own timetable - which is ok - and I'm glad that he has made me slow down and cherish all the small things so much more.
