week 4

I don't know what to blog about this week. My daughter is 6 months 3 weeks old and she started crawling in week one in her 6th month of life. So it is time to start better baby proofing the home. I have to pick up all my 4 year old son's small toys and put them away. It is so funny to me that 2 weeks into crawling and she is already pulling herself up on everything. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Her brother started crawling at 5 months and was doing the same thing. I knew it was coming and kinda wanted to hurry up and get to this point. Now that it is here.... I want time to slow down. Six months has gone by entirely to fast. Before I know it I will have a 8 year old and a 4 year old. I am on a 6 year plan to finish my college degree and I want that to go by fast, but not at the expense of my kids growing up just as quick. I joke with my wife that my son and I will be sitting at the table together doing our homework. Which is fine, I hope that sets a good example for him and my daughter. I want them to go to college and I want to be able to prove that college is important. It will be nice not to be a hypocrite when I discuss college and my desire for them to go. Now I know that college is not for everyone and I will not be foolish enough to think I can force them to go. I will however strongly encourage them to pursue higher education. Well, only time will tell what is in store for my little ones. I hope time takes it's time! I would rather slowly get through college than time going by too fast!
