Another glimpse into the mind of my youngest son
June 23, 2009
Now that I am able to pull myself to a standing position, I will do so at any and every opportunity! No one will be able to stop me! I will be a STANDING BABY!
Mama would like me to go to sleep, I can tell, and though I am tired, there is simply nothing better than standing. I will pull myself to STANDING!
She has just come in for a little bout of singing, I see. Little does she know that singing is no use against the mighty STAND. It doesn't matter what you sing, Mama: Twinkle twinkle, You are my Solo (to the tune of You are my Sunshine- Mama is witty), Jesus Loves Me... None will work. For no matter how tired I am, I will continue to pull myself to my feet, and then cry because I can't get back down. This is my superpower.
She is sighing and complaining about her back for some reason, but still standing with my little red mouth open, I can sense a victory! I will stand, I will stand, I will stand. I wonder... if I butt my head against her shirt with my mouth open will I get numnums? Yes, yes I will!
She has laid me back down again, and I will not put up with this. In another minute I'll stand again, and that'll show her! In just another minute. Perhaps if I just put my thumb in my mouth... perhaps... zzzzzzzz

"This is my superpower." This post made me laugh and laugh! My oldest little man was just like this about standing- thanks for making me smile today :)
You made me laugh today as well. Crazy boy! Sounds like you have another strong willed child - how did you manage to get 4? You sound tired though. Solo sleep for mama's sake - no more standing in the middle of the night! Just using my grandmother powers over him. Do they work?
Oh, so funny! May your dear boy continue to STAND so resolutely for God and against evil when he is a much older boy!
You juggle so many balls up there on your mountain, you never cease to amaze me!
Oh, precious moments.
This post cracked me up and made me so very weary at the same time.
I remember those days too well.
Sounds like a splendid baby !
That is so sweet.
