An unexpected milestone

Okay, this is a first for me... as are most things :-) Our middle son who happens to be the tallest did something today that freakin' amazed me. He can now stand on his tip toes and flick on a light switch without a stool to reach. I can't believe it. He is getting so tall!!! I nearly cried. I know, I know, I'm such a mom... but this really is a big thing. It is the little things that each of them are making that is making my help less necessary. Sure they need me for the big things... but it is moments like these that lead me to reflect on what is coming in their future. They are growing up.........................
