Three beautiful children all involved in learning these days...how quickly God grows these little people! I loved our baby days, loved them, through all of the incredible joys and challenges they held. It's been a bit of a grief process for me as we move to the next stage. Yet at the same time- this stage can only be described as golden. Really so much fun to have little people to talk to and relate with, to enjoy in real relationship.
I was able to go with Em on a field trip recently, to a ship that docked in Bangkok's port bringing resources of education and books. They call it 'the world's largest floating bookstore'. It's always a treat to accompany Em's class out and about, and to hear her ask, "Mommy, will you sit with me on the bus?" That question makes me laugh; as if there's anywhere else I'd want to be and I already had plans with another 4th grader. Our growing up girl is simply a joy to be with- I never knew it would be so much fun to have one of these!
During all of this waiting, his grown-up teeth have become a bit impatient and the front two pushed their way up behind, urging those baby teeth out so that they can take their rightful place. You can see them in this shot. Here's hoping these guys straighten out all their own issues without needing intervention from the dentist!
