When did he grow up

This morning as I was getting breakfast for the kids it just hit me. Michael is so grown up. At the mere age or 8 he fixes his own plate, gets himself in and out of the shower with not a bit of help and will help dress Matthew without being asked. I can't believe he is getting so big! It seems like it was just yesterday and he was wearing the little jammies that Matthew wore last night. I am so proud of him. He makes good grades in school and is such a good kid all around. The other night he brougt home some papers from school and one happened to be a little story, when Danny asked him if he wrote it he responded with "It's a fictional dialouge dad!" It was so funny Danny and I both just laughed. Then his art picture that he painted took 2nd place in the Mastodon Art Fair it was a water painting of a sun set. Keep up the good work Boo Man!
