Growing Up!

We've had a lot of milestones this week which is just killing me because it means the boys are getting bigger and bigger by the minute. Let me explain what we see in the first pictures. My children... yes... Garrett AND Parker are eating! And it's not chicken nuggets and mac and cheese. They had brocolli and rice (a big scoop), turkey hot dogs (cut to look like octopus), peaches, green beans and a garlic roll. As you can see, they both almost finished! Who are these kids??? For those that might not know, Parker literally at nothing but waffles, chicken nuggets and mac and cheese for about 3 years. Oh- also, chocolate milk. Hold onto your laptops Grandmas.... Parker says it's not healthy anymore and would rather have water. REALLY?! Whatever his teachers are doing, it is working! I need to get them a fabulous end of the year gift!

The next pictures, I just almost can't even look at. Garrett looks 5 and Parker looks at least 8. Since the eating fredzie this week, Parker has talked about his legs and feet hurting and "killing him". I should have measured him at the beginning of the week because I am positive that he grew like 5 inches in the past couple of days. I've let out all of the button-elasticky things in his pants. He'll be enrolling in college soon.

Garrett is so ready for school too because he watches Parker go everyday. He tries to get out of his carseat everyday and he has to carry a backpack with him just like Parker. He's been acting so big lately I decided it was time to make his crib into a toddler bed. I thought I might seriously regret it being that he seemed perfectly content in his crib but his reaction was priceless. I told him I had a big surprise and when he saw his new bed he said, "Wow. That is so cool." I asked him if he wanted to try it out for his nap and he said yes. He put his hands behind his head and just looked around like "Oh yeah- I'm the big man on campus now." He went right to sleep. Hopefully tonight will go that smoothly!

We have our bad days, but I swear these two kill me everyday with the hilarious things they say and do and I love almost every minute I get to share with them everyday. Ask me in a week or two when Garrett starts potty training! ;)
