This weekend we had no plans, which was actually really nice because we could just do whatever we felt like. Oh, we did have one plan, for me to run Martha's Run a 10k up and down the hills of mt. lebanon, but that is another story. Greg came up with the idea to get dinner out and have a picnic at a park so that the kids could play! I thought it was a great idea so that is exactly what we did. The kids had a great time. Sam surprised us once again when he said "look what I can do mommy!" He went the whole way across the monkey bars without any help! Now, I know from experience those monkey bars can be a little challenging for sure. He just needed lifted up and he went the whole across without any hesitation. like he has been doing this for years or something!
Then, again on Saturday , I was sitting on the couch feeding Sydney with Greg when it was completely quiet. Both kids were sitting nicely at the bar with coloring books and crayons. I made a comment to Greg about how nice they were sitting and how unusual it was for them to just get the coloring books out on their own without my suggesting it and color for so long, without eating crayons (Anna) or throwing crayons all over the place. Then, all of a sudden Sam brings over his picture that he has been coloring to show us. Beaming with pride he says, "mommy, daddy look what I did!" He held up a completely colored (within the lines I might add) picture of Buzz Lightyear! It was amazing! Sam has never done anything even close to coloring a picture before this. Greg and I just looked at each other in amazement, and both remarked about how great it was! I think we both felt a little misty eyed as our little boy was growing up!
