Yes, I know that they are still not even in school yet and will have lots of other changes in the future, but I just keep noticing all of the little "baby" things that are already going away.
I posted a few weeks ago about Kenna and Baa and how Baa has found a new home. He now sleeps in the drawer of her nightstand every night....she says it is his bed.
Well now Dane has given up sucking on his fingers. I tried and tried and tried to get Dane to take a pacifier because I was so worried about how to break the finger habit. I even blogged about it when he was just a few months old. Once I got used to the fact that he was, for sure, going to be a finger sucker, it actually got kinda cute. He would suck on his third and fourth fingers (always his right hand) and pat his nose with his index finger. A few weeks ago, he sucked so hard that he sucked a blister onto his third finger. And he was VERY upset with his "Owww". He would walk up to anyone that would pay attention to show them his "oww". He got a lot of dirt in it when he was playing outside so we kept a band aid on it for a few days. And that was all it took to break the finger habit. He has not put them in his mouth since....AT ALL! I had been thinking that it was time to start working on the habit since he will be 2 in a few months, but I guess he had his own plans! Which I guess I need to be thankful for :)
So now everything that my kids do that is cute in a little kid way is making me think "How much longer till this goes away?" I am going to be sad when Dane really says yes instead of "law" - don't ask how that means yes, it just does, and I love it. And we are planning on signing Kenna up for preschool next year.
I am so glad that they are growing and learning as they are supposed to, but I am going to miss all of these fun phases...guess we will just have to have another one!
Thanks for letting me be a hormonal momma!
