"When it's time to change..."

The great Peter Brady once sang, in a cracking voice...
When it's time to change you've got to rearrange
Move your heart to what your gonna be
Sha na na na na na na na, sha na na na na
Well our kids haven't logged any time watching "The Brady Bunch" and fortunately for Reed we don't have a family singing group, but nonetheless Reed has something in common with Peter. Somewhere along the last six months or so, his voice has changed. There were very few Peter Brady-type voice-cracking moments. And the change was subtle - Tod didn't even notice it until a neighbor mentioned it. Reed's voice is now deeper and he sounds much more grown up now.

Last night I watched a bunch of videos Tod has taken over the years and marveled at the difference in his little kid voice and his current voice. Oh my gosh it was almost too much to handle.

Sidenote: somehow video has always been Tod's domain, while I stuck with still photos. I am so very grateful that Tod took some videos over the years - we don't have tons of them, but we do have some real treasures, capturing the kids' personalities when they were "littles". Definitely have to keep that up, these videos mean so much to me.
