Has she started already?

Mommy and Me Morgan and Me


Do you remember how your mother used to say, "Just wait until you have kids!"? What, exactly, was she wishing would happen? That your kids would treat you the way you treated her? That your kids would treat you like the best parent in the world? That you would appreciate her more?

Well, if it was the first option, I think it has aready begun. Morgan will not walk. She will stand if she thinks nobody's looking, but she will not walk on her own. She won't even walk holding onto our hands anymore. It's almost as if she is taunting me. "Ha, ha! I know what you want, and you're not getting it!"

Is this payback? Is this my just reward for the 18 years of stubbornness I inflicted upon my own mother?

Did I mention that Morgan won't eat either? Well, she'll eat fruit, chicken, and ground beef. That's about it.

Well, payback is something else, I'll tell you. I've already worried myself half to death over this. Her pediatrician said that we won't have to really worry until 15 months, which is two weeks away. Yay for me! Only two more weeks of worry!

On the plus side, Morgan is talking a lot now, which counteracts some of my worrying. She can count to 3 on her own. I mean sure, she says 1,2,3,2,3,2,3,2,3......, but that's better than nothing right?

At any rate, I do appreciate my mother so much more after having had my own daughter.
