I practice standing with Mango, everyday. Every. Single. Day. Some days I doubt if he will ever make it there and some days, my belief is so strong, that I can't understand the days that I ever had a single doubt. On the days that we don't have any appointments, we spend alot of our time on the floor together. Plum and Mango have learned to love each other and enjoy each others company, screaming, scratches and everything else that comes with brotherly love . Plum has been a great help and motivation for our Mango. He just seems more willing to do things while his little brother is sitting in front of him doing the same thing, together.
Just like brothers, Plum has his back.
Always ready to sit or stand with Mango. When Mango is on his tummy, Plum bend his head to the side and goes 'hmm?', as if to ask Mango is everything is ok.
So today, while we were practicing our standing, leaning on Mango's special cut out table that happens to be the right height for the both of them to stand and lean on. Mango tried to move his left leg, lost balance and fell... Fell into my arms that were waiting for him. Yes, I was sitting right behind him ready to catch him, if he fell. I wouldn't have been anywhere else. In a split second, just as he lost his balance and the moment before I caught him, I saw panic in his eyes and as I caught him, I reassured him 'I've got you sweetie'. Yes, I've got you. I will always catch you, pumkin. His face relaxed as he realise that his Mama was right behind him, ready to catch him when he fell. My heart melted and I suddenly felt like crying. It was the moment that I realised, he knew, that I would always catch him if he fell. It'll never be any other way. Ever.
