Reading Chris’s post about the miniature Dadaist living in his home reminded me that we’ve been running this here blog long enough (five whole months!) that he’s now experiencing with his kid things I did with mine a little while earlier. How time flies!
All I can tell you, Chris, is to enjoy that melty feeling while it lasts. For a while, everything will be Dada, Mama included. But then, at a certain point, he will, just as Sasha has done, start saying “Daddy!” and pointing at you, and that—wow, that’s pretty neat. Then you’ll notice green guck oozing from his ear and you’ll forget all about that.
I can only imagine that by the time our kids reach Ted and Nathan’s kids’ ages, we’ll just wish they’d shut up, or go harass Mommy for a while.
