curtis is growing up!!

there has been so many times during the last couple weeks curtis has really shown me that he is not a baby anymore. he is a big boy now.

he has decided he likes a clean house and hes trying to keep his room clean. he has been wanting to take the garbage out all by himself and usually we walk down to the dumpster with him to lift the bag in. i didn't go with him yesterday. the bag was full but not heavy and he carried it to the dumpster and lifted it in all by himself. i was so surprised he could reach! he also decided he likes showers. both curtis and ari got sooooo muddy and dirty. they found a mud puddle to play in. i put ari in the shower first and she screamed the entire time. curtis told her that he likes showers. hes a big boy. i left the shower running while i got her diaper on her and curtis climbed in and got right under the water to start getting rinsed and wet. after getting wet enough he stepped out of the water so i could wash him and then stepped back under to get rinsed. all without the slightest hint of fear of the water. he even rubbed his hair to get some soap out. he decided he was done so he got out and dried and dressed.

it may not seem like a lot to most but its amazing to see how my little baby has grown.
