Milestones at the Pridgen House

We are in a stage of milestones at the Pridgen household. I will start from oldest to youngest.

We are getting to a stage where FINALLY bath time is getting so much easier. Drew (and Kaylea) is getting to where he is showering independantly!! WOOOHOOO!! A huge milestone around here as bath time for three gets a little hectic. Here's a picture of Drew washing his own hair in the shower.

As you saw in a previous post, the kids are beginning to read. Kaylea loves to write. She writes all the time. I saw her in her room writing on a post-it note and snapped a picture.

Later I went in to see what the note said and it read "I love Ms. Debbie. I love my sweet Will" Here's the actual note. Makes my heart melt to see how far we've come!

And last but certainly not least, our little Will. We just laugh at the things that he comes up with. Normally at this age, 2, kids are learning to pull chairs over to something to get what they want. We are definitely past that stage. Will does that, but he's doing it to get the scissors to open something that he's gotten out of the pantry. He no longer wants me to help him with anything. He wants to "open" everything himself. Here he is practicing that task.Milestones are always fun and are usually bittersweet. Milestones always put things in perspective for me. They always make me smile when I'm seeing them learn new things and at the same time make me a little sad that the kids are growing up so quickly.
