Every day i am amazed at my children and how much they are growing and becoming their own little spirit! My 1st grader feels more like a self reliant, independent teenager who when she comes home from school, throws her backpack on the ground and gets herself her own after school snack! The simple task of making her own toast seems like such a big thing to me. She poors her own drinks, butters her own toast, cracks her own HB egg. She isnt learning little things anymore either. She comes home and tells me about Matter and water cycles and what kind of clouds are in the sky....I just cant believe she is so big!! And my precious singing 4 year old.... she is just a crack up!! She is very into being just as big as her sister. She loves doing Homework because Sadie does it and she has all sorts of new songs to sing us everyday. She has become Joshs second mommy and enjoys being the biggest kid in the house while sisters at school!! And my not so little man is just LOVE. So gentle and kind and snuggly. I love how everynight when im rocking him to sleep and i say "lets say our prayers" he has to get his arms out of the blanket and fold them!! I love how he says i love you mom and how he is sooo protective of me if dave is wrestling me or teasing me....josh will not hesitate to sucker punch his dad because he is so worried about me!! Although i dont like to see him nervous like that it is kinda cute to see him tell his dad off!! I love how every animal says MEOW, and his favorite toys are his sports stuff...bats, balls etc... He is the best listener ive had yet. I love how he does what ever i ask of him and how he feels so strong after he helps me carry the laundry basket. So lucky to have the these 3 little spirits in my home!!
