Growing Up is Fun to Do

Sometimes it's hard to accept the fact that my first baby is already over 6 years old. Though I don't always want to let go of the baby he once was, it is such a joy to watch him grow and gain independence. He has always been so eager to grow up and be able to do big kid things. Thankfully, he is a very trustworthy and responsible kid, so it's easy to encourage him in his desire for independence. His new passion is cooking breakfast for everyone. He has mastered the art of toast-making and LOVES being able to show off his skills in the kitchen. Now if I could just get him to do the meal planning, grocery shopping, and dinners, life would be good!
