OH BABY!



It's amazing how kids just grow up right in front of you. This little guy, Alex, is no longer a baby. It's time for someone else to fill those tiny shoes! Alex is so ready to be a big brother and he will do a great job I am sure. Monday, the crib was cleaned out and the rocking chair moved from his room to Mommy and Daddy's room. The crib will stay in Alex's room for a while whether the baby is a boy or girl (just too lazy to take it apart). Baby's crib was emptied of toys and new sheets, the mobile and bumper pad were put back into place. Alex definitely knows something special is about to happen.

Monday, when being dropped off at daycare, Alex would not let go of Daddy. This never happens as Alex is always ready to play and usually runs to open the gate and then its off to the bikes. This day, he snuggled with his teacher, Ms. Cindy, and watched as Daddy left. No tears, he's a big boy! I could tell, he knew his role was about to change.

Here's to the BIG BROTHER! There will always be plenty of love to go around.

I love watching the toddler baby become the big brother or sister. I'm always amazed at how big those kids have seemed as they climbed on the hospital bed to greet mama.

**sigh**
