Growin' Growin' Growin'

Sometimes we hit phases of life that make me feel that time is passing more quickly than I realize. For example, this week Elinor figured out how to read. I convinced her to try reading a Bob book, and she was so excited by her success that she went on to read five or six more after that. Now she's so excited to keep working on getting better. It's crazy to me to think that three of our four kids are reading now.

The other major development this week was Jacob deciding that he's done with diapers and ready to move on to bigger and better things. He is definitely not potty trained, but it'll happen soon. I'm a little bit dreading this, but I guess we can't keep him in diapers forever!

And just to be fair, here are some brief updates on the other kids:

Emi is thriving at school. She loves her teacher and has made many good friends in her class. She is still rock climbing once a week and enjoying that.

Caleb is probably a little bored at school, and continues to amaze us with his reading. He joined a Little League T-ball team this week and loves it. (And he looks pretty darn adorable in a baseball cap!)
