Sitting on my bed and trying to write from my iPad since I already missed last weeks date and there are quite a few things I still need to do today. I can't do much at night anymore since my child decided to torture us by not sleeping until 11 pm. So we are basically screwed unless we figure out what to do about it. But enough complaining. My child will be old enough soon, or too soon.

Today as I was playing with my son I noticed the new signs of his development. I don't know how children do it, but they do grow super fast. For the first time today my kid didn't ask me to go with him into the dark closet. He wanted to show the stars projected onto the ceiling to his staffed animals. Now I am wondering if I am giving him too much space, and he is becoming very independent already. At two and a half years it might be too early. I don't agree that we need to prepare our children for "the hard life" ahead by making them independent and self-sufficient. I am sure that he will have many chances to figure it out. All I can do is to let him know that I will be there for him and he can count on me.
