Mom, I'm not a little kid anymore

So it is happening, our little boy is growing up fast. Tyler has informed us he is no longer a "little kid". For example, Ryan was watching Wiggles and after Ryan left the room, Tyler asked us to turn it off because "it's for little kids". He also told us that Chuck E. Cheese is not a place he should go to anymore because of his age. He feels that when we go to "kid" places, he should just stay at home. I know that he still "needs" us, but this is the first day he has logically verbalized his ideas for independence. Since it wasn't accompanied by ranting, we know that he is not a teenager YET, but it hit me that although he will always be our baby, he is not a little kid anymore.

What a great milestone! Your great example as a mother and experiences with Tyler give me hope and calmness dealing with Ben. What wonderful boys you have!
Cheers,
