Growing Up Fast

Are all boys this determined to grow up? Daily, Daniel reminds me that he is growing up really fast so he can be tall and his feet will reach the pedals so he can drive - that or so he can open the window and see "good morning" to me when he sees me working outside. Matthew is equally determined and is always on Daniel's heels, whether it's playing with his Daniel's toys during Mom's Morning Out or trying to do everything Daniel does.

We're not so brave after a couple tumbles in the grass.

Why such determination, little boys? I try to tell Daniel all the wonderful things about being a kid, but I guess I was the same way. We must make being adults look pretty freaking awesome. I asked him, "Why do you want to be an adult?" "So I can use your keys to turn on the car and drive really fast!" "Why else?" "I can use my daddy's computer and wire and work with you." "Do you want to use tools?" "Yeah, I wanna use my dad's tools because I'm really a grown up!"

That kid has some serious plans! I just hope he doesn't do them all too fast.
