growing up

so, i am one of those people who is notorious for running late. always scurrying around at the last minute, trying to get out the door. this was the case on monday as i was getting addy and i ready to go to w's class. i asked him to go into the other room and find something quiet to do. after about 30 minutes of showering, feeding, blow-drying, i realized there had not been a peep from the other room. panic began to set in as i briefly imagined all the things that could have been going on in the other room with my normally very loud and active boy, but when i ventured into the living room, this is what i found:

he had gone into the kitchen, gotten himself a snack, and was quietly sitting on the couch reading a book. amazing. my little guy is getting so grown up!
