I got pancakes and bacon this morning, MY FAVORITE! I am looking forward to spending the rest of the afternoon being a 5 year old boy!
It is so much fun to live in your children's shoes for just a moment. Ethan has grown up to be such and independent person. Aside from the day I left home to live in Big Spring, I cant recall what is was like to go from being dependent on mom and dad to learning independence. In a way I think it feels the same way as we mature in His word. He promises that He will never leave us and forsake us, but he also expects us to make the right descisions and to keep his commands! As long as we do so we will be blessed!
Ethan now showers on his own, pours his own juice in the morning, carries his baby sister around with no problem, buckles himself in his carseat and does his own jurisdiction (making his bed) in the morning! I am so proud of him to say the least! He has become such a helper! For their birthday's his Bee and Great Grandmother Joy bought them a bikes and helmets. It is so sweet, because everytime him and Abbi ride together he insures that both helmets are on and that they are on correctly! His responsiblity is outstanding! We are counting every bittersweet day down until Kindergarten. We are going to have a meeting with the superintendent of Elbow Elementary next month so that he can be considered as a transfer student. Going to Whitharral, I feel like it is very important to put my son in a small school! T-ball is almost finished and I am so proud of the A's as well as Ethan! He may just be baseball player someday!! I have so much to look forward to in this little man's life! He is wonderful!
My sweet Abbi has become 'little miss thang' in our household. Spankings havent been spared and neither have feelings. As she would say "I'm in targe!" Sometimes, all that Kevin and I can do is turn the other way and laugh. She is a mini mommy and wants everyone to treat her like she is! Yes, it gets her in trouble, but she is learning. I guess we all have gone through our sassy stages. I love her so much and even though she is a toot, she is a sweet heart most of the time. She never turns down a kiss or a hug! A while back a tv show made me tear up a little bit, and when she realized mommy was sad she put her head in her hands and just cried along with me. It was so sweet! Her favorite movie is 'Tangled' and she personally thinks that she is Repunzel. After bath time, while I am combing her hair she sings " make your powers shine, make the clock reberse what once was miiine" it is precious to hear!
Her favorite food right now is bread and cheese. Not a grilled cheese or bread with cheese. It has to be a piece of cheese and a piece of bread. In fact, Im not sure if she would even eat it if it was touching. She has become little miss picky in her food selections. Good thing Im not a short order cook! :) Oh, what fun a 3 year old girl is!
Our newest purchases will have to be for baby proofing! Ali Jo has become a mobile little booger! She hasnt quite learned how to crawl with her knees, but she is army crawling everywhere! I cant keep up with that girl! She has also learned how to summon her team with one high pitched scream! That girl could break glass! Her voice is precious! She says Dadadadada all the time and mouths nigh nigh before bed. I have taught her "more" in sign language! She picks up so quickly! I am in amazement how quickly she has grown. She will be 10 months very soon. It feels like I just brought her home from the hospital!
She is starting to get her top two teeth and boy is she ready! If she could have molars right now she would be in heaven. In other words, she will eat EVERYTHING! Fatty Jo is her nickname and as mean as it sounds we will not call her that when she is 16. haha! My precious baby!
by the giant fishes!
