From June, 2010<\/a><\/p><\/div>\nWe used to take walks together, splash in puddles, do craft projects, go everywhere together, read stories, snuggle, make presents for teachers and cookies for classmates, and smile for photos.\u00a0 We were like the three amigos.\u00a0 Now it’s like four adults living in one house together.\u00a0 Not exactly, of course, because they ARE still kids, but they are so independent and self-sufficient and into their own activities.\u00a0 Eve will spend hours up in her room, sewing or crafting.\u00a0 Lex will spend hours on Minecraft, then want to talk about it when he turns the computer off. He’s rocking his drums these days.\u00a0 I can’t wait to see him perform with the jazz band.\u00a0 She likes to draw and bake. She’s got the holiday enthusiasm that I so adore, but always wants to do things on her own schedule.\u00a0 She decorated for Halloween this year, all on her own, at 5am on a Saturday morning!<\/p>\n
I think the point of this post is that I have amazing children who are all too quickly outgrowing their childhood.\u00a0 I feel more like an observer and less like one of the team these days.\u00a0 I guess I need to get my own hobbies now. :\/<\/p>\n
Or maybe I’ll just lose myself in the blog for awhile, and drag you along too. :)<\/p>\n
