Where on Earth did I find all that patience to wait for the whole week to report that -
last Sunday,
April 4th,
my son, Troy Alexander,
started walking at the age of 14 months.
Independently.
For a long time.
Pushing us away to show us that he can.
When I told my co-workers on Monday, our receptionist said:
'Congratulations - now you're officially a mom!'
And we all know why, don't we?
It's a big step forward and we are all very proud of our big guy.
On another, music-related note, we have been listening to a lot of new (for my son) good music this week.
I played some Dmitri Hvorostovsky's CDs for him. Just to see his reaction. When he was very young, he did not like lower voices.
Now he does.
It came as a surprise that he really likes "Uzhel' ta samaya Tatiana?" ( Ужель та самая Татьяна?)
He tries to sing together with the CD and claps through almost the whole aria. Especially at the end, when there is this absolutely crazy and majestic music that is supposed to depict the tempest in Onegin's heart, Troy claps with most enthusiasm and energy. I am surprised that this music does not suppress him. Beautiful as it is, it's grand and very dramatic. However, apparently, he is able to stand up to it. Interesting...

I love reading all about your son's milestones and musical abilities! Congrats on the walking... soon he'll proceed directly to running and you won't have to worry about skipping desserts to fit into the glamorous dresses - he'll be your personal trainer!
Hi Susan:
I love to read about your son's musical talents as well. I think he is very advanced - kudos to you for that!
The purpose of the nutrition part of this post was to show my readers that they do not have to miss out on tasty things if they want to fit into those clothes and that they can still enjoy food without gaining weight.
As for myself, I am very much into fitness (I am at the gym twice a week rain or shine)and healthy nutrition, so fitting into my gowns is not a problem for me.
That dessert is really good though.
