Growing up

So I started realizing what a big kid Mac is a few weeks ago. One of the first things was that we had to buy new tennis shoes. These shoes don't look like little kid shoes at all. I don't know how well it comes across in the picture, but they could be adult running shoes. I felt a little teary-eyed sitting on the floor in the shoe store.

The next thing I noticed was as we were changing his clothes the other day. He is getting to be a skinny kid. He has gotten so tall suddenly without gaining much weight. It makes him no longer look like a toddler. Of course it helps not to have the added bulk of a diaper.

He also seems to add words to his vocabulary daily. Like today he asked if I could toss something to him. And he asked a question last night about the Israelites.

And the thing that most makes me realize he is growing up is the thoughtful questions he asks. Oh we still get plenty of why's and repeated questions, but he also asks if Orange juice will make his teetee yellow. And if sugar in Tea is what makes him teetee more.
