Climbing the Tree (of Life)
November 3rd, 2009 | Author: Shannon
My little man is growing up; he’ll be three at the end of the month. I still remember the overwhelming joy I felt when I realized I was pregnant; the absolute love when I first looked at this little naked body; the joy when he first nursed; the terror with the first big cut (a lip wound) and all the blood; I remember the first steps; potty training, weaning…. and now my little baby boy is climbing trees.
This time of year change is so obvious and natural and gentle. I enjoy taking the children outside to experience the everyday changes of falling pine cones, falling leaves, acorns etc.
Last week, we went to the park where there was a cute little squirrel gathering goods for the winter and running up and down one tree. My son, who genuinely thinks of squirrels as his friends and playmates, began chasing after it. In complete terror, the squirrel perched on one very high branch.
Jeremiah is learning from his nature buddies and I am learning to appreciate the changes and seasons as a mother.
Have a great day! Be happy!

Your blog is beautiful. Hard to believe that over two and a half years have passed since we nursed those boys in Sara’s mommy-baby yoga class at All That Matters! They’re getting so BIG!
Yes, your Luke turns 3 in a week now… it’s amazing!

Your new site looks great. Congratulations
There are some weird little > signs next to your Happy Hubby – maybe that’s a glitch to check out. Great header photo and great background and top menu though!
