My Babies

....are growing up too fast.

Preston is reading "Lord of the Rings." Last week he was reading a 'Goosebumps' book everyday. In fact, he had to go to school early just so he could hit the library, turn in the finished and get a new before class. I asked him if he was going to get a new book today and he said "Mom, I'm not into that anymore." He's already to chapter 5 in LOR. They're really long chapters, too.
Right now his favroite movie is Ironman- He pronounces it 'eye-run man'. It drives Gilbert crazy. It makes me smile. He won't be 8 forever.

Logan woke several times last night with leg pains. He's just growing. I crawled in next to him and rubbed his leg thinking of how these moments are numbered. We said a prayer that his leg would stop hurting and I listened and his breathing deepend and he drifted into a slumber.
Yesterday he came home after school and showed me a newly loosened tooth. By the evening the tooth was extremely wobbly. This morning it's barely hanging on. He wants to lose it at school because they get a cool necklace with a tooth-case on it. Next month he turns 7.

Paris climbed up on my lap as I'm writing this post and snuggled in right. She's almost too big for my lap anymore. I found her in my bed 3 times last night. Everytime I carried her back to her room and tucked her in she told me "I love you, Mom. Goodnight" As much as it drives me crazy to wake in the middle of the night and find that my pillow has been taken over, someday soon it will end and will never happen again. I can't believe my littlest baby is going to be 4 soon.

I just can't believe how fast they grow up. My little babies.
