You seem pretty excited about your plans for his double-digit birthday! It's nice to have something specific to look forward to and plan a fun celebration, especially one that you hope he'll look back on fondly. That's a great way to mark that milestone!I enjoyed hearing my son say meaningful sentences. Not just the generic one-word replies like "yes" and "no", but when he started stringing words together to express opinions and thoughts. Like many kids his age, he'd often come out with deep insights that show how much he's been paying attention to adult conversations, or crack wise unexpectedly.
I anticipate the day he'll hit double digits in age. Double figures always seem like a big deal to me, and I plan to celebrate it with a big, lavish party so he can look back on it as a memorable milestone. I'm sure many parents can relate - each stage comes with its own unique challenges and joys, but that one seems like such a clear demarcation line for childhood.
For me, I'm most anticipateing the stage where my little one becomes more independent, develops his sense of judgment, and learns how to navigate social situations. Being able to step back and watch him make decisions and form opinions, especially seeing how they reflect our values and aspirations as parents, is something I look forward to.
