Achieving a Milestone-Chartwell Style

Today Winston marked another milestone. He is undeniably growing up, maturing and leaving behind babyhood. Of course I couldn't find a sticker or page for this in his baby book, it is not on any developmental chart I have found, and I'm not sure the doctor will want to hear about it at the next check-up. Despite the seeming absence of this event in recognized baby sources, it is a milestone in our home. Possibly even a right of passage. Solid inconclusive evidence that the difference between nature and nurture cannot always be found.

This morning Winston arrived at the breakfast table with his copy of Moo, Baa, LaLaLa by Sandra Boynton. This was casually tossed aside by our staff as he was given his bowl of oatmeal. When the staff returned to the dining hall, young Winston was discovered with a spoonful of oatmeal headed to his mouth and casually flipping the pages of the book with his other hand.

If you can't put your book down long enough to eat...then you must be part of this family.
