4 years, 4 months update Keeley
Having a 4 year old is interesting. It’s WAY more interesting than having a 3 year old. Less tantrum-y, too. Mine is learning patience, mostly by watching her toddling sister be impatient. She’s becoming a lot more self reliant, and taking at least a smidge of responsibility. Unfortunately that also comes with a heavy dose … [Read more…]
Why this is here
Everyone says that your kids just all the sudden bam! grow up on you. I’m not sure, sometimes I think that’s true, and sometimes not.

Mostly people that aren’t doing well. … [Read more…]
