Taking Out the Trash

Beckett is growing up so fast. I am not sure where the time has gone. Everything seems like it was just yesterday. I do however, feel myself getting older and the realization that my baby is growing up is more evident when I try to remember exact details, but can't. There are only blurry rememberances . It is at that point that I sit back and really take note of how much time has passed. My heart feels sad and then I look at all of the wonderful memories and feelings that I have and feel a little better but I really would like to push rewind and go back to some of those precious firsts.

A week ago I was taking the trash out to the curb and Beckett was insistent that he help me. So, he grabbed one side of the trash can and we drug it up the drive way, only to return to the bottom to grab the recycling bin. Once we put the containers, where they ultimately belonged, we went through the house to grab the loose ends. I had some more cans and such that needed to go in the recycling bin, so Beckett, with confidence grabbed the basket, went out to the curb and dumped the basket into the bin. He was so resolved that he had done it all by himself. I asked him if he needed help and he would say " NNNNOOOO mama".

8/13/09 - Yesterday Beckett had a incident of diarrhea so he came home in a diaper and his clothes came home in a baggy. I had put the baggy by the laundry. Beckett brought it up to me and I told him that it was yucky and that I had to take care of it. I didn't think anymore of it...We were almost ready to leave for work so Beckett and Scott walked outside, I heard a dragging noise, but couldn't figure out what it was. When Monroe and made our way to the car, some of my questions were answered. Apparently, Beckett thought it was trash day so he brought the recycling bin up to the curb. Scott, quickly put everything back but as he was walking up the driveway with the little blue bag, containing his clothes. When I told Beckett that the clothes were yucky and that I would take care of it, he decided to take matters into his own hands and took the bag threw it in the trash (outside) and then brought the bins up so that the trashmen could take them away.... I love that kid...
