Big Son

I can't believe how big my Kabe is getting. He doesn't get photographed as often as the girls, but this picture really shocked me . . . he is tall! Seriously - my little guy who's always been built more like a tank or a refrigerator is all of a sudden long and lean. Today he woke up a little before his sisters and got to pick his snack, what a smart boy he wanted an apple. Then I asked what we should make for dinner and he said, "how bout a salad mom?" I guess all our healthy efforts are successfully brainwashing our kids? Kabe is such a joy and really fun most of the time. I'll admit, he's a lot like a dog though - without enough exercise he gets a little annoying. He's been doing swimming lessons and is quite a little fish. He can swim about 10 feet without his water wings on and has his face in the water the whole way. It will be interesting to see how he does when Ksenya goes to full-day Kindergarten and he's stuck at home with mom and babies. Sure glad I'll have him with me for 2 more years though! He's always telling me what he's learning in primary and although I'm sure he's a challenge, he really loves his teachers! We're sure glad we have our big little boy!
