Changes

Jacob sprouted his first two teeth (just today).

David wore "big boy underpants" for half an hour (we're still have a long way to go before he's potty trained but the journey has officially begun!).

Claire is now very proficient at swinging on a swing all by herself.

These changes are inevitable. They need to be celebrated. But they also represent the many small steps to independence that my children will take in the years to come. And they are all good reminders that I need to be celebrating the present.
