So I decided Facebook wasn't for me. I would much rather write out all my feelings rather than try to come up with something witty that fits in one line and describes my life at any given moment. The realization occurred to me the other day when we were all sitting down at breakfast together and Brant asked Caleb "What does a pig say?" We frequently ask him this question as he loves animals and he thinks pigs say "go-de-go-de-go" - probably because one of his push-the-button-to-hear-the-animal-sound books has seen better days and that's what the pig sounds like. But on this particular morning, he replied "Aink-aink" - not quite accurate, but a reflection that my little boy is growing up. Try as we do, we can't get him to say "go-de-go-de-go" anymore... probably will never hear it again. That day I realized "I should be writing this stuff down" and hence, here I am typing away while my little boys sleep in an effort to immortalize the cute things a 2 year old says.
Makes me sad sometimes to see them grow up. Elijah used to knock on his door every morning and say "Knock, knock is anybody there?" and he would not open the door or come out of his room unless someone opened it for him. Was very convenient on weekends. :) But now he just opens his door and comes out himself.
Don't get me wrong, I am SO EXCITED I now have one kid potty-trained, 2 who can feed and dress themselves and all 3 who sleep through the night. I cannot wait for the day we can take a family vacation without having to plan around nap time and I am already counting the days until Ezra can eat at the table and sit up in a bathtub on his own. But my mommy heart still breaks each time a little milestone is reached and a little boy takes another step towards growing up.
