Important Milestones nobody will ever ask about

We reached 21 months at the start of August. We threw in a super-fast road trip and sort of didn’t record anything milestone-ish. So here is a list, in no particular order, of recent important milestones that I am certain our pediatrician will never us about.

1. Learning to toast. (they toast each other and say, “Cheers!” and everything.)

2. First fortune cookie had an appropriate first fortune, I think.

3. Skinned knees. (This is when I knew my babies were no longer babies. sigh.)

4. Putting shoes on without help. Joshua loves to wear shoes, finds them, puts them on himself and 50 percent of the time he even gets them on the correct feet. Not this time, though.

5. Coloring with Markers. (Supervised. Washable.)

6. Learning to put an olive on the tip of a finger. This is an essential life skill, people. Can’t you just feel the joy at this mastery?

7. Eating corn on the cob.

8. Making scary monster faces. This is an essential boy skill. So is the accompanying roar.

9. Going down the slide alone. Actually climbing up then going down alone.

10. Getting to go on a walk not in the stroller. (if you don’t think this is a big deal then you never had twin toddlers.)

So fast they grow. My tiny babies are little boys.

    We love to cheers in our house! Our b/g twins are 29 mos and I still don’t take them on a walk without the stroller by myself! We have these backpacks too, but it’s just too much for me. Kudos to you if you can take that walk alone! (With two adults, yes, it is totally doable for us).
