Transitions

I absolutely love watching my children transition from one stage to another in their lives.  We have two big transitions going on right now: E is reading and D is walking.

At first, I have to prop them on their feet or make them do a reading lesson...and they don't want to!  They plop on back on their bottoms or whine and complain and try to get out of doing what I want them to do.  After awhile, they get used to the routine and they start stumbling over words or toys on the floor.  Then, as they get better at what they are doing, they start maneuvering over and around...and doing it on their own without being prompted.  And when I catch them reading the cereal box or walking on their own...
...that is when I can say they can walk or read!
