This morning as Kevin was getting ready for work and the boys were watching their morning cartoons I let my mind wonder. I let it remember all the little differences there are in our home compared to even 3 months ago. I thought about Benjamin being a baby crawling around. And Patric being a toddler and doing toddler things. Its hard to imagine now that they are older. To mark this occasion in stone. Patric has been working on learning how to tie his tennis shoes. WOW! He has never been really patient with that, but today he has tried 3 or 4 times at least. And actually got one done.
And all of a sudden Benjamin is taking off too... He has now started riding his big boy bike instead of that tricycle. And boy does he fly, soon it will be with out training wheels.
This summer they have grown and blossomed, almost more than I thought I wanted them to.
Some people think that I miss them being small I do not mourn them growing. I do not cry over them becoming little men. I celebrate that fact everyday. But I do. I love how they smelled when they were smaller, not dirty or sweaty. Or like wet animal. I loved that I could lay them on my bed and just kiss them from foot to head and they just laugh and giggle.
I still get to do that but now they can kick, Hard!
My baby boys are not so baby anymore they are now little men. And ready for all of life's adventures.
So today I think of them small. Tomorrow I will be in awe again how big they are and the great Men they will become in the future.
