My contribution today, as hostess, is “three things I’d like for Hayden to grow out of quickly.”

1. Temper tantrums. Good luck there, since I’ve been known to throw them occasionally . . . like . . . in the last few months . . .
2. Completely unintelligible speech. Yes, it’s cute, but it would be nice if I could understand him. Sometimes I think I almost can. On the other hand, he’s suddenly picking new signs with alarming speed: this weekend he learned milk, today he learned bird (which, sadly, he signs just like dog…). Actually, to be fair, I think he’s really begun saying “Daddy,” consistently.
3. (I always get stuck on #3!) The “everything is food” phase. We’re nearing the end, but a few things still go straight to his mouth.

I’m sure there are better ones, and that tomorrow he’ll assault me with three new things that I want him to grow out of quickly, but for now, as I’m remembering the past few days, all I’m seeing are adorable little traits and habits that will be gone all too quickly on their own.
