Signs your little boy is becoming a BIG BOY

Daniel is facinated with getting bigger and here are a few things that prove it:

1. Finally being willing to try and ride his bike, of his own accord. Without us initiating it. 
2. PUSHING his bike when he doesn't want to ride it and not asking ME to do so. WOW! 
3. Always talking about being strong!
4. Wanting to carry big things himself up the stairs, without Mom's help. 
5. Not wanting to give Mom a hug or kiss before she leaves for the day- only from a distance. He blew me a kiss, and a hug. Oh how sad, I didn't think this would come so early. 
6. Helping with the raking of leaves and digging with Dad. 
7. Preferring new places and friends to staying with parents. 

Our little man in now becoming a big boy. He is now years and 4 months old.
