I can’t believe how fast my children are growing.
Erica

- She is taller than I am.
- Going on dates
- Has a Job
- Responsible
Jackson
- Getting taller
- Voice is getting deeper
- His boyish looks are changing into being manly
- Drives my truck around the church
Noah
- Putting logical thoughts together
- Using more and more words
- His ability to reason, (when he wants to)
- Independence (I can do it)
- No lock, latch, nor gate that can hold him. He could escape Alcatraz!!
- Shy
- Loves Octonaughts
- Can make Jackson so mad
- Always wants to “drive” my truck
Sophie
- Using more and more words
- She carries on conversations
- Tells you what she wants
- Get’s upset when you don’t do it.
- Always calls out DaaGee when I open the door
- Loves to take a bath
- Will show you the finger she has DaaGee wrapped around
Graden
- Independent
- Talking more but not as much as Sophie
- Loves his Mimi
- Shorter than Sophie
- Looks so much like his daddy at that age.
- Beginning to sing along with radio. Favorite song, “Mean” by Taylor Swift
- Refuses to go to bed until he is ready to drop
I printed this blog and will share it with friends here at Latham who wish you were closer. Can’t believe how much these children have grown since leaving here. Miss you all very much. Alice Shipman
