On the way home from Target, we saw a little boy walking down the street alone. Nate said, "How old do you think he is?" I said that I thought he was about eight. Nate looked shocked and said, "really?" I told him that he had to remember that Luke and Jack are FIVE. We both reflected on how shocking it really is that they are going to Kindergarten. THEN, it got me thinking about how much our two little boys have changed.
When the summer started, Ethan wouldn't get on slides at the playground, he wouldn't get in the pool without holding our hand, and he would not sit down and color or paint. He is getting on slides if we are near. He will get in the pool up to his knees with us nearby. Today he sat and painted without one of us sitting at the table with him for about half an hour. I am so proud of him.
Lincoln has always been such an easy go lucky baby. He was really easy. He is beginning to gain more and more independence. He wants to be on the move. He is an excellent eater (most of the time). He usually eats more than Ethan. He loves, loves, loves telling people hi and waving at them in stores. He is getting more demanding in his old age. He has learned that wonderful little baby shrill to get what he wants and he won't quit until he gets it. He has also learned that if his big brother does something to make him mad he can hit him. My sweet little Linky is getting a feisty personality!
