A few thoughts on my first baby boy, who is clearly no longer a baby, and what he's been up to lately. We've moved to a new classroom at school, much to his dismay - he already misses his teachers very much, and we miss them too. But I'm sure things will get better, and he definitely loves the larger playground right outside his new room that he plays on every day. In connection with that playground, he has access to tricycles that they can ride. To ride the tricycles, he's required to have a helmet. I purchased a toddler helmet with Elmo on it a few weeks ago, but Frank asked me to send it back and promised to take Franklin to a bike shop in town to get a better helmet. They made the trip this weekend, and we discovered that our child, who has been plagued by a head circumference in the 90th percentile for the majority of his life, is still plagued by an extra-large head. My tiny toddler helmet would never have fit on this child's huge noggin', as he is currently sporting a helmet designed to fit children ages 7+. You read that right - 7+. As in, my 23 month old and a 7 year old have the same size head. He must need all that extra room for his super-smart brain, don't you think? Here's a peek:
And quite the silly little man he is. It took Frank forever to get these pictures, because every time Franklin realized the camera was about to take his picture he would spin around backward just in time for the flash to go off -- and then break out into a fit of giggles. Frank took him to the park after they made the trip for the helmet:
Favorite words right now include "No," "No, Daddy," "Mine," "Back," "Move." Clearly, we are in a stage. But a fun one... the in-between stage, where he's such a little boy, and such a baby at the same time. We're trying to squeeze in every second of our precious time as family of three before Crosby arrives in under 2 weeks (or a mere 12 days, thankfully). I should have a full report on my second baby boy following my doctor's appointment tomorrow morning.
