When we meet up with family and friends whom we haven't seen in a while, the first comment is always "My, how the kids have grown!" I am guilty of this cliché and proud of it. But when we live with our children and see them on a daily basis, we don't notice these changes. What we do notice are the milestones. Like...
"Why didn't you tell me that the shoes were too tight?!! I would have replaced them 3 months ago!"(usually heard after seeing the 'indoor school shoes' at the end of a school year.)
Four toddlers plowing through a complete family lasagna on their own!! Remember this one Aunty Rhi/Uncle David? What are the adults going to eat for supper?
Pants too short or too tight, long sleeve shirts that are now 'fashionable 3/4 length' tops and the list goes on!
Tonight, our family can check off another milestone. We finished off a 'hard/soft taco kit' (the El Paso kind) in one meal!!!! Both girls ate the same as Eric and I, which means we each had three each! So much for having leftovers for lunch tomorrow (which probably is a good thing since packing and transporting all the dressings is not so practical for school lunches.)
