I was looking at my Micah today and all I could think was HOW ARE YOU STILL 4? If you haven't seen Micah up close and personal recently, he is the jolly green giants of 4 year olds. He is steadily gaining on Isaac and Isaac isn't a shrimp by any means. But it isn't just his size that blows me away but the things that come out of his mouth as well. "Actually", "pardon me", "In the mean time", "for goodness sakes", have all come out of his mouth recently and I have to try not to laugh. He sounds like a little grown up.
I am sure it has to do with having an older brother, and also the fact that he has been in school since he was 2 1/2. But as we wind down his 5th year of life I have to remind myself I don't want this to go too fast. It is a little hard having my baby in school all of the time. (yes I know you are all rolling your eyes.) I feel like I have missed a lot of milestones with him because he is always at school. In any case, when I find myself wanting to rush through these younger years I have to remind myself, One day he won't want to kiss and snuggle me. After that sobering thought, I try to get in as much cuddle time as possible because in the end Babies don't keep!

He is looking so grown up! I feel the same way about Leah who is turning 5 on Sept. 4. I can't believe that Micah has been going to school for so long. Leah just barely misses the cut off date here for Kindergarten. So I've got to find some kind of Preschool group to join. I think there is one with our ward where you would rotate teaching the group. We'll see how it goes.
