stats
In the past few weeks both boys have visited the pediatrician, and both were declared healthy and perfect (ok, she didn't actually use the word "perfect," but I'm sure she was thinking it.)
Here are their stats:
Lucca at 3 1/2 years
Conclusion: they're big.

breakfast conversation
(Lucca was rubbing his eye.)
L: Did you ever think about something in your eye....something like a tornado?
N: Do you have something in your eye?
L: No, I was just thinking about what if you had a tornado in your eye.
N: Wow, a tornado in your eye. How would that feel?
(pause)
L: Tornado-y.

time keeps on slipping into the future
Today was Lucca's first day of preschool.
Today it's been 12 weeks since Soren was born.
I'm not sure what else to say. Part of me is so excited to see how they are growing and who they are becoming, and part of me wants to hold on tight, say stop! I'm not done with who you were yesterday yet!
*sigh*
It's been an emotional day for me. I was so nervous about Lucca going to school, but he wasn't upset when I left him there, and when I picked him up he was happy and said he had a fun time. After dropping him off, I drove around aimlessly for half an hour with a sleeping Soren in the car, and finally went grocery shopping, where I almost started crying while telling a checker I'm acquainted with that today was Lucca's first day.
slow down, slow down!
But I don't want to put that message out into the universe, so I will say also that I am so lucky, so crazy lucky, to have these two big, bright, beautiful boys that are speeding, racing on ahead of me.
Race on! I'll try to keep up.
