Little Kids

I usually write the blog with at least a theme in mind…I have a general topic that I plan on writing about.  I didn’t have much to share this week so I thought I’d go through some pictures to break my writers block. As I perused the pics, skipping past the 300 snapshots of the carpet, blurry selfies, and the terrifying few featuring yours truly that they kids love taking these days, I came to realize how grown up the babies are getting.   It’s shocking really.  We go through our daily routine, paying little attention to anything but the clock telling us how late we are.  Looking back over the last 2 weeks, I’m forced to acknowledge how capable they are becoming.  No longer babies, or toddlers even, they are little kids now. 

I’m so proud of the people they are becoming.  Dylan is the most empathetic child I’ve ever met.  I know that sounds like a mom being biased about her own kid, and I’m sure it is to some extent.  But, I must say not a day goes by that I’m not moved by his kindness and caring.  He is always the first to help someone out, ask how they are doing, say please and thank you.  It’s intuitive to him.  He is a big boy with an even bigger heart.

Hudson is emerging as our curious little monkey.  He is always asking questions, and I occasionally don’t know the answer (“how do bees make honey?”…..ummmm, let’s look that up buddy).  He cannot accept my answer of “I don’t know”.  When I use those three little words I’m always met with “But just tell me Mommy!”  We had an in depth conversation about our intestinal functions the other day. 

Sloane is a sponge.  She loves learning and retains everything.  She will undoubtedly be the teacher’s pet.  She is quite interested in learning about plants and animals these days as well as how to write everyone’s names.

I know these are things that happen to every kid, and ours are no different, but it’s so fun and exciting to see them learn and grow everyday. 

The only one for me is you, and you for me, so happy together!

"Mom, how do you write Bap?"

Oh ya know, just riding our bikes....in our jammie pants, and snow boots (it was in the 60s).

Practicing our name writing.  Sloane put her stickers on her paper and the only letter I have to help her with is S

Good job, buddy!
