Independence

As Conner has grown, I have had to let go of a lot of things and let him gain independence. I am a firm believer that children (people) learn by doing and by example so I take deep breaths and let him (them) learn. Yesterday after school, he did not want a PB sandwich, but he wanted to make one. For the record, he did put the sandwich in a sandwich bowl and it's on the counter...uneaten.

 

Growing up...

Today, Conner got rid of his training wheels. Josh has tried with him twice before and he didn't have the balance down and was afraid. Today, he didn't want the training wheels. They are gone. We are beyond proud but it's very bittersweet.

So big.
