Must have right now!

It's interesting how things that were irreplaceable a month ago, now sit in the back of the closet, forgotten. The all important pacifiers and swaddles no longer reside in the house. The mobile collects dust. His sleep sheep has joined the other stuffed animals on the shelf.

I was trying to think of what it is that we currently can't live without - I thought he'd be attached to a blanket, or certain toy - but not really. Other than his toothbrush, his favorites come and go. It dawned on me that right now, it's not a thing. Right now, I can't live without imagination and patience. He is inhaling information so quickly, learning more every day and he's excited by something different each and every day.

Yesterday he wanted to read about ponies, over and over and over again. (Hence, the patience). Today, he wants to walk circles around the house with his new school bus. Some days he is enthralled with watching other kids at the playground, others he is obsessed with the slide. Everything is new and exciting. My biggest challenge is finding him new experiences, new things to learn, taste, try - and to have the patience to do those things over and over and over again :)

Off to find an adventure doing soil research!
