Growing up
Little babies grow up and become little boys. It's life, it's a fact, and it can be a little sad. This weekend we worked on transitioning the guest bedroom into Kevin's new room. We're using the full-size bed from the downstairs room until (if?) we get a single sized bed for him. For those familiar with the furniture of our house, also included in the move is the shelving unit from his play room, the dresser already in the room, a bookshelf, his hamper and his chair.
The new guest room downstairs is taking shape as well. In it will be a computer desk with our server, the king size bed and a variety of bookshelves.
Now that the transition is all but complete (he needs to move in some of his toys and books), Teri said he's no longer in a little baby room, it's obvious that a little boy lives there.
At school each day I try to make it outside at dismissal time to get to know the parents better and to talk to the children and teachers. Today, Kevin went out with me. He asked if he could go play on the slide, which was about 50 yards away and I told him he could, but I wasn't going with him. He didn't care and went on over to the slide and played on his own until it was time to go in. It wasn't long ago that he wouldn't leave my side, or even climb the slide with my help, now he's stretching his independence.
