Growing leaps and bounds

It is amazing how your children just change in front of your eyes. KC who will be four in September seems to go to bed and wake up with new skills and abilities on a daily basis. Concerned with his one word broken sentences at 3 1/2 years he has started to actually talk in whole sentences which are remarkably understandable. He can not sit still for anything so if we could just figure out how to harness this energy and use it to our advantage and his. He is very smart and is constantly trying to figure out how things work. He loves playing the matching game on the computer and his bike has become a daily ritual. We went and bought a new helmet today for it. He proudly displays his helmet with matching elbow pads. We can not help him put it on or help him take it off. He did great at the store helping get diapers and new sandals and then a helmet. Wow I am just amazed it won't be long and he will be going to school.

Patrick is going to be leaving school soon and hopefully going to MCTI College in Kalamazoo. He goes there on a field trip next week. What a world apart my boys are. Patrick was very passive and quiet at KC's age but is very loud and busy now. Maybe this is a good thing that KC is loud and busy now. As I get older my energy levels are not quite up to par. They are not depleted though and I enjoy watching my teenager growing into a man and my toddler growing into a boy.
