Growing Up

Almost daily, C.J. puts on my backpack and tells me he is going to school. This two year old also does homework! At least that's what he calls drawing. He recognizes letters as either "numbers" or as the letters "A" and "O". And he can count: 1-2-3-8-7! He puts his shoes and socks on by himself and yes, they are almost always on the wrong feet (see photo below.) He's getting his pronouns down. He refers to Eli as "he" instead of "it." And every morning he comes into our room and announces "I wake up" instead of "My wake up." And I imagine soon he'll even get his tenses right. Oh dear. Slow down little boy--you're growing up too fast!
