One Awesome Kid!



video

I am so amazed by this boy. This morning, as we prepared for church, he said, "Daddy taught me how to tie my tie last week." I told him that he might need a few weeks (thinking months) of practice before he had it right. After all, just a couple months ago I had tried teaching him, along with the other cub scouts, how to tie ties. It was not successful! May have been because I've never tied a tie in my life...and it was much more complicated than I thought. I'm not good at knots apparently.

Well, I was wrong. He tied it over and over and over again. I had to document it because I am so proud of him! What a sharp kid! I just can't get over how quickly he learns things, how well he reads and how good he is at math and spelling. He just growing up too quickly. It's bittersweet.

Already Turkey Time?


Yesterday Taylor went to the store to pick up a few items. As he wandered, he passed the freezers full of turkeys thinking they were out a little early. Then it dawned on him that it is THE weekend before Thanksgiving.

Where did this year go? I'm afraid to sneeze because I may miss Christmas.
