What happened to the baby? [FreeWrite]
This Saturday, my son turns 1. Yes, Christiaan, the youngest addition to the family is ready to take the next step, quite literally as well. At the daycare, they want to take him to the next group and at home, the first steps walking by himself aren’t that far away.
My son has other ambitions though. He doesn’t seem te be in a rush to walk, as he is a seasoned crawler and believes everything is possible through crawling and climbing.
This.. in all honesty... can be a little worrisome. Where my daughter was always careful with every step, my son seems to have no real fear of danger.
This includes climbing up the slide and sliding off it by himself, which is both cool and makes me feel a terrible parent at the same time, and climbing on the high side of the living room couch (which he somehow keeps climbing on without having an option of getting off).
One part of me really wants to see what he is capable off, however the question ‘What happened to the baby?’ is one question I have no interest in answering.

Lol, the fun stages of boys. I swear it is in the gene pool of them having no fear, until they end up getting hurt. Happy 1st lil man.
Haha, true. It's definitely a boys thing. I'll send him your wishes 😊

Thank you :) and my son went through a phase of climbing on many things, one being his kiddy table. He would have a toy of some sort in his mouth, and look right at us as we would tell him no, and climb up on the top anyway. We finally had to get it away from the bay window for fear of his falling against it.
Oh! Happy early birthday to Christiaan!And I can totally relate with all that... Worried what may happen next... Yet curious to find out what he is capable of... The dilemma... Yup... I guess most mamas can relate to this. Right @iamjadeline @metzli @brittandjosie @crosheille @thekitchenfairy 😉

Absolutely. Every loving parents are like so.
And oh, my youngest didnt start walking until 13 months or so. The same as talking. He really took his sweet time. But yep, he wasnt and still isnt one that stays still. Climbs, runs, plays with older kids as if he was one, finished building a Lego toy all by himself, etc. Every kids just differ for sure in time of "milestone".
Happy Birthday to your son @jeanlucsr🎂🎂🎂🎂

I choose not to look at them if they are to do sports or play in the playground... Or else I will be scaring myself each and every moment... And I am glad I am not with my girl when she fell and broke her arm just three weeks ago. That particular moment I was not there... If I was there, I am sure both me and her would feel like dying instantly. But after that moment, I am with her all the time.
Most of the time the kids are really smart and can "survive" all their stunts unharmed... 😂😂😂
Just our heart not strong enough to withstand it...

Congratulations on that big birthday party you're throwing. Uncle Bruni can't sleep so I came to visit.
Thanks unc! We're keeping it small. The big advantage is there is no social pressure from all of his friends yet 😅

I had a daughter like that... playing little meaid at the couch... broke an arm at 2 places and while we were waiting for the result of the x-ray she was climbing and swinging in the curtains arounds the beds in hospital like a monkey...using both arms.

Oh my. Hope she had a smooth recovery. Oh wait she was already back in the curtains 👀

Yes she was. The nurse came back was speechless asked: which arm? So I said (had to take a cab twice, doctor first, next to the hospital): I asdume it is not broke. She: it is at 2 places. The plaster did not stay long, cut it off... think year later again... after that she never broke anything again nor visited a doctor.

I guess if it doesn't hurt enough, they continue playing

Sometimes they are hurt, see some blood too, they stop for a second or two and start again.

She is a real trooper. My daughter would scream for a bandaid if there was one drip of blood 😂.
