Growing up

Eric lost his first tooth on Thursday. He came to show me in the morning. He just had his birthday! He's also reading books without being prodded. He's also been getting out the cursive letter cards and writing words in cursive. When did he learn to write beautifully and spell words?
Benjamin is mister self sufficient. He has been getting into the fridge for a while now, but he just learned how to open rubbermaid containers. One day he ate fudge and lunchmeat for breakfast. Tonight I put him to bed with the crib side up, went to the kitchen to wash dishes and there he was, bouncing on the chair! None of my kids have ever been able to climb out of the crib until about age 5 when they weren't supposed to be in it anyway! Ben's also the kid who learned to climb over the baby gate at 18 months... No wonder the kid doesn't talk. Why should he? He can do everything himself.
I'm nearly finished with the baby blessing dress. Just 4 rows on the bottom and then the sleeve edgings. I got out a crochet book because Caitlyn's been learning. There are a bunch of beautiful baby blankets, booties, bonnets, and sweaters that I now want to make! Not that a June/July baby would need any of that, but they were all so cute and adorable. Eric wants me to make him geometric shape people. They look easy. I might manage to spend a day making one for him and then going back to baby projects.
