tad learned how to pull himself up a few weeks ago, and he is sure loving his new skill.
i don't think it will be long until he is walking.
part of me is happy about that because i am tired of having to hold him in all those not-crawl-worthy places.
but the other part of me is nervous because he is already so fast when he is crawling!
either way, i am certain he will be walking by christmas.
and seriously, is there any better gift then that?!
probably not.
therefore, we shouldn't even try to buy him anything else to compete with it ;)
holden can swim!!
he can really really swim!
it is so exciting.
he was stuck in a preschool 1 swim class for 3 rounds.
although he was improving each time he went, he was never given the green light to move up to the next level for quite a while, and matt and i were thinking it was time to give him a break from swimming.
but then, one day, it clicked! just like that.
he got moved up to preschool 2.. and then got to skip up to preschool 3.
he can swim from one end of the pool area to another, and can dive down for toys on the bottom of the pool.
and i am seriously so proud of him!
what a fun skill to have.
chet is a full fledged reader.
it is nuts!
he loves sitting down and sounding out a book, reading signs along the road or in a store, making shopping lists, writing letters..
matt and i are now at the stage in life where we can't always spell out words to each other to sneak them by our kids, because chet can figure it out!
he seems so much older now that he can read so well.
and, although growing up always makes me a little sad, i am so thrilled - it's like a whole new world for him, now that he understands what all the words around him say!
