Connor's Overnight Revelation

We have all seen the magical stories where one character proclaims that something amazing will happen or makes a wish, and the next day it comes true. Well this was very similar. One night Camille and I were talking about our kids as we frequently do and all of the sudden I said, "Connor is going to start walking and talking in full sentences tomorrow." Up to this point Connor had been crawling and only walked with the help of our furniture. So when I said that Camille and I looked at each other and smiled as we went to bed knowing it was far fetched.

Well there was a magical breeze in the air that night because one of the first things that Connor did in the morning was start standing up by himself. He would stand on his legs with his hands on the floor and then push himself up and just stand there. We were amazed and his biggest fan through this whole experience had to be Brayden. He was such a proud older brother and kept saying phrases like, "I am so impressed with him right now." So from the courage of Connor trying to teach himself how to stand and the rest of us with our encouraging words, Connor started taking a few steps after he would stand. It was unbelievable and we laughed knowing what I had said the night before. So I had to capture the moment on video and picture.
