Growing up

My little Porter is sure growing up! For the past, oh I don't know 2 weeks I have become "mom" and Brent has become "dad". It's like he, all of the sudden, he grew out of "mamma" or "mommy"and "Daddy" stage. Now it's "MOM...I want this" or "Dad look at this." You wouldn't think those few words would be that big a deal but its like he moved from baby to child in no time at all! Don't get me wrong I love the growing up, but when did it happen...how? It goes from putting clues together from a few words to full on sentences like: "What did you say dad?" Everyone always says that your kids grow up so quick, but I never realized how quick! In fact the second child seems to fly by even faster! Mason is already opening doors (by the handle) and folding his arms for prayer! So cute!

Its so fun to see their personalities shine already. Things they like and dislike. Porter has loved cars and I don't think that love will end any time soon. Most children sleep with teddy bears or stuffed animals. Not Porter he must have his car or truck of the day in bed with him. We came home from dinner with Grandma and Grandpa and our wonderful babysiter asked "What's a trukntar?..he didn't want to go to sleep without it but I don't know what it is." We had a good laugh, We explained he likes to sleep with a truck and or car. Now she knows :). It's funny how it's hard to understand kids unless they're your own. They all have their own dialect that is impossible to understand. I love being the one that understands mine. It's like I'm the key to the puzzle and I love that connection with them!
