The wondrous mind of five

[drwex]

L is growing at such a rate these days it's hard to keep track. This AM I was watching him reach the bathroom sink faucet with ease.

Me: "You're SO big!"
Him: "Yup!"
Me: "How did you get so big? I wasn't looking."
Him: "It's because I ate TWO mustard-and-cheese sandwiches."
Me: "Oh, really?"
Him: "Yes, they were adult-sized sandwiches so I had to get bigger to fit them both in."

Soon, I think, he won't fit in my lap anymore.

then there's when you realize you can no longer comfortably sling them on a hip, or carry a sleeping child to bed

*giggle*

*sigh* Seems like only yesterday that he was not quite 2 and still knee-high to a grasshopper.

I use to eat mustard-and-cheese sandwiches. Two and a time. Clearly, there is a corilation.

Awww... I'm already missing the climbing in the lap thing--even if its cessation has not yet occurred. *hugs* Speaking of big, Allen (who just turned 5) is now wearing size 2 shoes...

We are so proud of them when they grow and reach new milestones but it is sad to lose the little too.

Love it!
