You can be a carnie!

That's what PS said to me as I was standing in the bathroom complaining that I was growing a beard. (Seriously--why didn't anyone tell me that I would start turning into a man once I turned 30?)

My kids are growing into real people--with senses of humor that are can be appreciated by someone over the age of 12. Although I miss the cuddly sweetness of their baby and toddler years, it is fun to watch them grow into smart, funny people.

A couple of weeks ago I had to take the twins to a birthday party out in the boonies on a Friday night. I gave my GPS to my inlaws, so I had to go old school with the Google maps. I called PS on my way home from work and she got on Google maps and found what I needed because we were going to have to leave again the second I got home. And then, once we were in the car and realized that we left the maps at home, she called DH and took down directions from him while I was driving. I told her that I was so amazed that she had developed from this sweet but useless little baby blob into an actual helpful person who could figure things out.

I have to say, I think I made some pretty amazing little people.

What a sweet post. I have a 1 year-old, so it's a ways off, but I'm excited that motherhood at your stage has those kinds of joys too.
