I had a doctor once tell me she loved when her kids got to be around four or five years old and they were finally developing individual personalities and I was flummoxed. What was she talking about?

Despite his declarations that he is a "man" now, my heart melted this this morning when I work up to his little chubby face asleep on my pillow---yes, he's still coming in a some point in the early morning.<br /><br />I'm uber impressed by the bike riding. Liam is a whiz on his scooter and skateboard but is hesitant on his bike even with the training wheels. It's on our "bucket list" for the summer, but I'm not sure if it will happen. With him, it definitely has to be self motivated. I think if his big brothers get involved we might have better progress. He always wants to please them :)Peghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02162890081910497200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654887465201994138.post-73584447977799323412013-06-11T06:42:36.183-05:002013-06-11T06:42:36.183-05:00And I'm sitting across from the one kid who I ...And I'm sitting across from the one kid who I feared would be too cautious to learn to ride; he was 7 when he took off on 2 wheels. Today, he turns 16; this summer, he'll solo in a glider.

Lil's still little (only second grade, which is definitely big kid, but not middle school--ulp!), Ellie still needs me quite a bit, and I'm still in the trenches looking for that light at the end of the tunnel. The funny thing is, Ellie is my child who has NEVER wanted to be a "baby". She was crawling by four months and running by 10. She has always wanted to keep up. She was my last so I wanted her, no, NEEDED her to be that tiny cuddly baby and for her that was an impossibility. It still is.
