I just realized today that I no longer have two babies anymore. Even though I will always think of him as my baby, Alex is truly growing into a big boy. He will be starting Kindergarten in a few weeks - which I can't believe. It feels like yesterday that I found out that we were pregnant and 5 years have passes already. I took him today to get his hearing and vision test so that he is able to start school. He was so proud of himself when he was done and got a perfect score. When we were walking out and talking about it is when I realized how grown up he is now. He used phrases like "that was no prob" and "what a breeze that was". He is just so mature for his age that it just amazes me sometimes. Sorry daddy, who wishes that Alex is going to be a hunter and fisherman with him - I just don't think that it is going to happen. Alex is already talking about how you need to take care of the earth and how you need to love all living things. I have no idea where he gets some of his thoughts from. We also had a talk today in the car about being brave and a friend told him that he was not brave because he is afraid of the dark. But he thought of several different things that make him brave - including doing a good thing even when all of his friends at daycare are being naughty. He also enjoys spending time playing in the basement and is not scared down there all by himself. He also said that he is brave because he is not going to be scared to go to kindergarten but he may be a little shy. I am so proud of the "big boy" that he has become and am looking forward to watching him grow into a young man someday. Love you Alex - just don't grow up too fast for mommy OK. I am not sure that I can handle it. :)
