All big now

Having a toddler and a baby in the house have made me realize that none of my kids are little anymore. I knew this already, sort of, but today when I saw that Gleek towered over her cousin it seemed more real. Even Patches is all lanky and tall and sunbrowned. In fact he doesn’t really seem like a “Patches” anymore. Now he’s more of a “Patch.” Since changing his nickname from plural to singular also solves the problem of awkward possessives, I’ve decided to go ahead and do it. From now on Patches is Patch.
