A New Year

Only 5 days into 2011 I am finding myself realizing just how much my boys are growing up.  In 10 days Tyson is going to be 7!  In a month Charlie is going to be 3!  I can't believe how fast time is moving.  I stopped to think just how much has changed in the last couple weeks and made a list. 

* Charlie is no longer sleeping in his crib.  Tyson is sleeping on the top bunk and Charlie on the bottom.  It is so cute.  (FYI - they have their own rooms but choose to sleep together)

* Charlie is no longer drinking milk out of a soft top sippy cup.  He doesn't like it much, but I had to do it.  He really was still drinking it like a bottle. 

* Charlie will start preschool in a month.  Four mornings a week he will go to school.  I have so many mixed emotions about this.  I know he will love it and he will learn so much.  He is a sponge right now so I know it is good for him.  But selfishly I am so sad that my baby is going to school.  How is it possible?

* Tyson is completely dressing himself.  This probably isn't a big deal to many of you, but it has been a really hard thing for him to be able to do without help.  He puts on his own shirt, pants, socks, and shoes. 

* Tyson is losing his top front tooth.  I think kids look so much older when they have those two really big front teeth.

* Tyson makes his own peanut butter sandwiches when he gets hungry.

* They both are trying to see along to every song they hear.  Tyson gets the words in pretty good (his favorite was the 12 Days of Christmas), but Charlie really only gets the last word and hums the rest of it.  I love hearing it no matter how bad it is!

OK I have to stop it is making me too sad.  Keep in mind these are changes that have happened in only the last couple weeks.  It is too much at one time, but bring on 2011!  I can't wait to see what is in store for us!
