Big Tough Boy

Oh, Andrew you are such a big boy...always wanting to do what dad is doing.  It is almost impossible to keep you inside while he is working outside.  Whether it's scrubbing decks, cleaning cars, mowing the lawn or fixing things in the garage, you have to be right by his side doing exactly what he is doing.  When did you get to be so old?


And don't even get me started on you Dominic!  You are not the baby of the Kastl family anymore.  It's fun watching Corbyn wear the same outfits that you wore just a few months ago. 


Even though you are growing up so fast, in some ways you are still my little baby.

The funniest thing happened the other day.  Andrew had a rough start to the morning.  He was outside running around and fell, giving himself a bruised forehead and skinned up knee.  Then came the tears and lots of drama!  You would have thought he broke his leg because he refused to walk on it or move it the slightest bit.  He sat in the same spot at the table for an hour while I was cleaning up from breakfast and then I picked him up and moved him to the carpet where he stayed for the next couple hours. He just sat quietly with his hand under his knee to support his leg.  He didn't like it when I tried to make him walk. 


At nap time I carried him to his crib and he laid there with his knee up to his chest. A few hours later I checked on him while he was sleeping and he still had not moved that leg!  He did not walk until 6:00 that night. 

It was the weirdest day.  My son who doesn't stop moving and is always running away from me, didn't move all day.  That made my job a lot easier.  I didn't have to chase him back in the house over and over which gave me lots of extra time to clean all my windows. I got to enjoy clean windows with out fingerprints all day long! I don't think that's happened since he started walking!
