Primary

I forgot to mention Nathan started Primary a few weeks ago. He wasn't terribly happy about it, but he goes without a fuss. And yesterday, Kenny gave his first talk all by himself. He stood up so tall, talked loudly and with confidence, and read his talk without help.

I sat in the back and almost started to cry. I could see Nathan sitting with his class looking so tiny even in the little chairs. And Kenny at the podium reading like a big kid. I don't remember giving my kids permission to grow up so fast! It makes me so grateful that my baby days aren't over and I get to have another little man. (Don't worry- I know I'll be blogging a different tune in a few weeks when I am severely sleep deprived.)

Chiara!

I was just checking in on you to see if baby had arrived yet and i read this post. It makes me sad. It's still hard to think Brielle is in primary now too, but she loves it. Lately, since Sicily is learning to crawl now, we talk a lot about how Sicily is growing up. Brielle now says "I want to grow up too!" I hold her tight against me and say "you are". Happens much too quickly! We wish you the best and will be thinking of you the next few weeks!
