Growing up

It makes me sad that Ty is growing up.  I miss my cute little chunky monkey.  Don't get me wrong, I love who he's becoming but I just miss having a baby in the house.  I, officially, have a house full of KIDS.  There are no babies here and it makes me sad.  Probably more sad than normal because I'm waiting to be told that there will be a baby but there's not.  
 We all still treat Ty like a baby and I do believe we're creating a monster.  I'm embarrassed to admit but I still carry him around when he asks.  I don't expect him to make his bed in the mornings and he's free to walk around the house while the rest of us are eating dinner at the table.  
He gets away with MOORDUUR!  

I am fully aware that this has got to change.  But it's just so darn easy to give in to Ty.  I think a baby sister would do all of us some good.
 But then a few years down the road I'll be creating another monster.  There will always be the baby of the family.  So many people  to cater to their every need.  

But look at this face.  So yummy yet so not a baby anymore.  

 It's time to crack down and teach this boy some responsibility. 
 I'll start once the summer is over, maybe.

oh, give in. there will always be time to treat him like a big kid, but not much longer for this stage. he is pretty delicious.

I am a friend of Paul's from waaay back at SUU. I enjoy seeing how his family is doing. I have a question? A few posts ago you put a video you made from a family vacation. It was DARLING!! I love that idea and would love to attempt one. What software or app. did you use?

Amy, It was nice to "meet" you! And I think we always give in to our babies no matter their age :)
