To let go

I finally let go. I know Antonia could sit and she was sitting really well in her play pond. But that is a safe zone. With pillows. And when she was sitting on the floor I was always near her. Sitting behind her or next to her. Ready to catch her. And she needed me. But today I let go. I slided backwards so she wouldn't notice and there she sat. Playing with her toy. And I was taking pictures. Of course. Proud as if she'd won a nobel prize. 

I have realised that my kids aren't babies anymore. As soon as you can sit you are officially a toddler. 

What else have we done today? We've been on the floor a lot. Working on sitting, rolling, crawling.. but that doesn't work yet. Alice takes herself around by sliding by accident. Antonia rolls around and both kick kick kick. And talk. My god do they talk. All day. I am currently putting them to bed and all I hear from their crib is laughter and talking. And kicking. Then they whine a bit and as soon as I approach the crib they start laughing. So obviously it is no real emergency.
