Little Guy...

A few weeks ago we picked up

this fun little

musical instrument from the thrift store...

it's perfect for James,

he can sing at the top of his little lungs

and beat the little hammer things to the

wood with all his might!

James has been changing so much lately...

becoming more grown up

and turing out to be such a boy!

~

We have been teaching him how to be a

gentlemen to girls.

He always holds the door open for Elsie and I...

and he always has to help do the

'boy chores' like bring out the trash.

And he always has to put the lid down on the

potty when he is done,

"for girls"...

and he gets upset when daddy or uncle Colter

forget to put it down for girls!

One day while eating popcorn

James picked all the pieces into several little tiny crumbs...

then got a couple truck matchbox cars

and loaded all that popcorn up

and hauled it across the table!

One afternoon James took all the toy baskets

off the shelf in the living room,

then he pulled all the wooden shelves out of the shelf...

and he used them for lumber to

"build" himself a little fort.

Its sad to think that in just a few

short months my little guy will be

3!

He is growing up too fast.

Why do kids do that?
