So grown up!

GROWN UP OBSERVATION #1:
We were sitting on the patio with daddy and Aunt Ba on Friday afternoon. It was a beautiful day, and you wanted to ride your tricycle on the patio. It had been raining so your trike was leaking water all over the place. You're not a fan of messes - dirt on the ground, sticky fingers, dirty feet - all of these things bother you. So all of a sudden you stand up, open the patio door (by yourself), and walk inside. The three of us stop what we're talking about and look at the door trying to figure out what you were doing. All of a sudden we hear the cabinet door shut and it dawned on us - you were getting a paper towel to clean up the spilled water. And out you waddled, paper towel in hand. I have never shown you how to open the cabinet, where the paper towels are or when to use them. But apparently you're very observant.

GROWN UP OBSERVATION #2:
You were sitting at your craft table yesterday coloring with your crayons with daddy. I was making dinner watching you both play - one of my favorite things to do. You started coloring on the table - not the paper - and daddy gently said, "No No Hadly - paper only." To which you stood up from the table and walked to the corner and gave yourself a time-out. We didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I did a little of both.
