things are changing.

sometimes when I look at Cullan, I still see this. He was about 2 years old here. (i think) now rationally i know that he is 5 and that he has changed a lot since then. however, one of the things that i was not really thinking would ever happen is that Cullan wants his space. Luckily not necessarily from Garran and I, but from his brother and sister. He has been saying things lately like, "Can I help you with that, only me and not Kael or Briea". He also always wants to go with us when one of us goes to the store, but he wants it to be just us. Now, at first I was thinking, does he not feel like we pay enough attention to him, but I don't think that is it. (I could be wrong I guess) I just think that right now he is craving attention and the ability to do things on his own. He and his siblings are together 24/7. Most kids his age are in kindergarten already, but due to a late birthday  he is not. I think he is starting to want to stretch his legs a little and do things that separate him from the pack a little. The thing that brings me comfort is that he still wants to play and be around his siblings and he is still very kind to them. I guess this is just another part of growing up. Sometimes, I just wish they would just slow down. Some days I miss the little boy in the picture, but on the other hand growing up has its perks and fun things also.
