So in the past week Hunter has gone from taking a few steps in a row to full speed ahead all the time. Whew! This little boy is determined and stubborn. He wants to go where he will and he will not give up until the mission is accomplished. I am so happy for him and so proud. My heart swells with pride to see my little man put one foot in front of the other. A little piece of me is sad, though. My little boy needs me a little less now. He certainly wants me a little less, too. I know he still needs me plenty but he is becoming more independent every day. The pride I have for him as well as the sadness I have over how fast he is growing up brought tears to my eyes today. What a privilege it is to be a mom.
Hunter is also teaching me things. Hunter falls down a lot. A lot a lot. But he never lets it stop him from going where he wants to go. He usually doesn't think twice about getting right back up and plowing ahead. Oh to have that attitude! I feel so encouraged from watching his determination to not give up. Even when things are hard and I fall down, I want to get back up.

zoom, zoom, zoom! Look at him go. I, as usual, have watched this over and over. It just made Uncle Pavel and I chuckle. Will show grandpa tonight but I discovered it after he had gone to bed.We are "rethinking" the whole house for Thanksgiving. Bookshelf in the hallway will have to go, all knick-knacks, kitchen garbage bin. We'll do our best to make sure Mr. zoom can have full run of the downstairs. I better get child guards for the cupboards. So much fun. Our little boys entering the era of explorer. Heehee!
