Season of Change

It occurred to me today how many wonderful changes gave cone our way recently and I thought I'd list a few. Steven - started 3rd grade, likes his hair longer (not buzzed), riding a two wheel bike (finally), can call his friends on phone Caroline - started 1st grade, is no longer missing 4 teeth in front so her speech has cone around, has grown like a weed, riding 2 wheel bike Mitchell - started kindergarten, repeating tons of words, speaking some words independently, rides bike with training wheels (faster than I can run), does his business on the potty, wipes & redresses, responding to directions, waits nicely at restaurants for our table, uses Dynavox to keep himself busy while waiting for food, can play in front of the house or park for 30+ minutes w/o running off Grace - dresses & undresses herself, pees on potty 1x/day, speaks in paragraphs using grownup words, knows more nursery rhymes & cartoon songs than I do, makes her own jelly sandwiches These may seem like little feats but they are huge around here. Everyone is growing up do fast. Today was one of those good days that allowed me time reflect on our positive traits.
