Payton is evolving faster than I can keep up!

That is an understatement! This kid amazes me every single day. He is so independent and opinionated to say the least. He is challenging for sure but just as equally funny, loving, smart, entertaining, quick, the list goes on. He is definitely not a baby anymore and he reminds me daily that he is a kid NOT a baby.
He is dying to get involved in T-ball but is still "to young" to play. For now he practices at home. He throws righty but bats lefty most of the time. He will yell "I'm gonna jack it out of the park!" then practice sliding into base as he screams "I won my first game!"
A few weeks ago I was telling him that when he grew up he could be anything he wanted to be and do anything he wanted to do. Without skipping a beat he looked me in the eye and said "I do not want to be a doctor." I said O.K. and then he said "I just want to be a construction guy and do some digging and stuff."
A few days ago he woke up sat down on the couch. CNN was on the TV so I came in there to turn on one of his shows for him. He told me to wait because he was watching this. He watched the entire segment about the oil crisis and then wanted me to explain to him what was going on. Seriously! I am not going to be able to keep up with him for long.
He is always telling jokes, making friends, going on play dates, practicing riding his balance bike, and generally keeping us busy and entertained. There is never a dull (quiet) moment as he is always passionate and full speed ahead. I don't even know how to sum this kid up in a blog post. He is truly an experience.
