He's growing up

The last few days have been quite interesting for me. Each day comes and I feel so blessed to have my little Kevin and Katie. Lately I have felt so strongly that my little Kevin is not so little anymore. It just amazes me that he hasn't worn diapers for 2 weeks now. He tells me when he needs to go potty and while sometimes nothing comes of it, he is old enough to recognize the urge to go to the bathroom. It hits me each time he has a success that he is growing up before my very eyes. The last few days his speech has been so clear and precise as he amazes me with these 5-7 word sentences. I love how this little man adores his Dad and sister. He says his own prayers now and takes care of Katie by getting her toys and giving her his pink bunny to play with. When Dad walks in from work he runs to the door and says "My Daddy's home" He is constantly saying Thank you and Your Welcome. He is so polite and sweet, yet completely has his own opinion. Lately he playfully contradicts whatever we say just because he has learned that he can. He is smart enough to recognize that the ABC song and Twinkle Twinkle little star are the same tune (he starts out singing one and ends singing the other... so cute). When I show him attention he thrives, when I am too busy with other things it affects him. The boy is so smart and I could never have imagined the amount of love I was capable of for this kid. I am excited for right now and love living in the moment with him while looking forward to his future. Motherhood is a miracle.
