Change Is In The Air

Yes, change is in the air. Brooks, in October at almost 11 years old, your began wearing deodorant. This is a unique experience for my nose because now my son smells like my husband. There was moisture regularly and then one day a slightly unfresh smell so we knew it was time. Why are you guys growing up?  I love you. You are certainly gorwing into a young man and one that I am very proud of. 

Suited up in lacrosse gear at a tournament. This is your latest sporting interest. 

Big Changes for Stuckie

So, from the time Landry was a few weeks okd, Landry has sucked her right index finger. 

You have outgrown "Stuckie" which you "stucked" (verb). In October, at 8 years old, you announced you wanted to put a band aid on Stuckie so you would not put it in your mouth during the night. You have to understand that Stuckie was not only for naps and bedtime but also any time you were crying, sad, hurt, in pain, etc.  Stuckie was your way to self-soothe. I am proud of you for deciding to do it in your own time and sticking with it. Change is sad too though. You have also recently sold your kitchen set and your doll house. You are growing up and you recognized that you were no longer playing with it   You  actually never loved playing with your doll house. You did play a lot with your kitchen which wasoriginally Brooks'. This is a little sad but I am thankful for each day of your life which requires growing up. I love you Lan!
