Swinging

After many hours of pushing Jackson on the swing- he doesn't need me anymore. He can pump himself now. He does such a good job- he leans way back and points his feet up in the air. He is really proud of himself and he loves to swing next to a bigger kid who is also pumping.
I think that yesterday he pumped himself on the swing for over an hour. It is both good and bad that he can pump himself. Good because he doesn't need me to do it, and bad because he doesn't need me to do it. I am glad that he is learning and growing... but he only gets to grow up once, and it is happening too fast.
