it's about that time...

Every year before the boys' birthdays there are noticeable changes. It surprises me every time just how close it comes to their actual birthday.

Andrew has been really into puzzles the last few days. The thing that has changed is that he thinks of doing a puzzle on his own, rather than it being my suggestion, and he does them without pretending he needs help. The really exciting thing for me is that he pulled out his alphabet train puzzle and he did all the way through "I" by recognizing the letters rather than finding the next puzzle piece that fit. I know it's from our little school time because we are, conveniently, on the letter I this week!!

Another thing he did that shocked me this week was when he decided to get our cereal for us. I was drying my hair and he came in to let me know breakfast was ready. : ) He had only poured the milk in his and then we we sat down he poured ours for us. He told me that if Mason doesn't eat all of his, it's probably because he went a little too fast and poured more than he needed. He's growing up right before my eyes...
