Growing Up Fast

Today has been a day of accomplishments for Peter. He has always been the kind of kid that likes to have things done for him (who doesn't?) but because of that he hasn't been motivated to be...independent. So I've had to give him a little push lately.
First he went down the waterslide at swimming lessons (twice)
Next he jumped off the diving board (twice)
He came home and made his own lunch (I do realize he should have been doing this for years but the whining was a big obstacle)
Then tonight he made pancakes from scratch for dinner.

He looks soooo grown up in that picture. We are happy to see that it has warmed up enough to swim in Rexburg. (Maybe he is swimming at an indoor pool?) Anyway, we would like to invite Peter to our house. We LOVE pancakes!! :)

Way to go Peter! He looks so much older. This is a good motivator for me to keep pushing Braedyn to be more independent.
