Where has the time gone?

It seems like my kids are growing up even faster this year than in previous years. Last fall, Haden was still a baby. Now, he flies around the corners on Regan's outgrown tricycle, sometimes on two wheels. He loves to cook and can crack eggs unassisted with little or no eggshell dropping in and will tell me to be careful at the stove or when using a knife so I don't get hurt. Haden tells knock knock jokes that he has come up with on his own. I am not sure what is more amusing, the ridiculous not funny jokes or his reaction to them. He has opinions on everything and will regularly say or do things to harrass both Regan and Clint (like "dad runs slow").

Haden was yelling that he was stuck. He is very good at climbing up-not so much at climbing down. Immediately after I took the picture, he got the lid off the tylenol. He likes the taste and will tell me that he is "hot" and needs some.

Regan is all about fashion. She will regularly change outfits 5-6 times a day. Her cowboy boots are her favorite accessory and she rarely goes anywhere, including ballet, without them. After shopping trips she models each outfit and insists that I take her picture to send to her favorite aunt so she can admire them as well. Last week, after noticing my boring gray T-shirt, she said, "Mom, I am really not in love with your shirt. Can you change?" She loves art projects and goes through many rolls of tape decorating her room with her creations. Her barbies keep her occupied for hours a day and she has recently started painting her own fingernails and toenails. She is definitely four going on sixteen!

What happened to my little kids?
