Growing up!

MY boys are really growing up. It never ceases to amaze me when I see the new things they are doing.



Right now Alex is reading the series THe 39 Clues. It's a series of books that are a mystery. You find the 39 clues in the books and on the web. And try to solve the mystery. The web site stuff I have spent a lot of time helping him with. Mostly because I like doing it together. He's on the very young end of the age for the books, but is really loving them. I got home Wed night and he was pages away from finishing book 3 and really wanted to finish that night. I've been reading them as well. He even picked up that the page numbers in the middle of the book were different and were a code. I certainly never noticed that. He is so very smart and loves to read. I guess he takes after mom. Ha!

Then there's Dylan. I have really been worrying about him this fall. He has so much energy and doesn't sit still well, so I worry that sitting still at school is rough going for him. So, as I pick him up at Faith Development (Sunday school) last Sunday, I asked his teacher how he was doing.
I asked about my "little wiggle worm". And she said that he is not a wiggle worm at all. He sits still, listens, and follows directions. I thought, now you can't be talking about my Dylan. He can't stay still for a second. And she says, "he's so smart, sweet, and good." I was completely blown away. I would never imagine those words applied to Dylan. Don't get me wrong, I agree that he is incredibly smart and sweet, but it's hard to see behind all of the wiggling and constant talking.

I guess that just shows that both of my boys are growing up.
