Inspired by this post at Amongst Lovely Things, I decided to list five things about each of my children as they are right now.
Miss A
-
Does her independent work well and usually in a timely manner.
-
Loves to write – she finished a 90-page story last week (which I need to finish reading…)!
-
Lives in “creative chaos” – in other words her room is a bit of a mess. 😉
-
Would rather hang out with the adults in a group, which I understand, but encourage her to spend time with the kids as well. She’s in that in-between stage.
-
Makes some pretty neat stuff with her Rainbow Loom and felt collection.
Mr. D
-
Favorite thing to do (besides play Minecraft) is to play (by ear!) the music from the WALL-E movie, Mario games or whatever other music he’s hearing in his head. Unfortunately he can also play that very annoying song from The Lego Movie…
-
Narrates with vigor from the Bible, Robinson Crusoe and any book that captures his imagination.
-
Loves to swing.
-
Quite friendly and talkative with other kids and adults – maybe too friendly sometimes. But being shy and introverted myself, I’m probably not the best judge. 😉
-
Dreams big.
Mr. E
-
Is very motivated to get his work done ASAP in the morning, even before mommy has finished breakfast…
-
Loves the little desk we brought back from my parents’ place, one my dad salvaged from a school when I was a girl!
-
Currently lives for soccer – always counting down the days until the next game or practice.
-
Likes to tease his siblings, which can be a problem…
-
Very affectionate – must always give me a good-night kiss. :)
Mr. L
-
Wants to do everything himself, which can be very frustrating when you forget and do it for him, are in a hurry, or he isn’t able to do it.
-
Loves watching Wild Kratts.
-
Has a bad habit of dropping things in the frog’s tank.
-
Listens to Animals, Animals or Jim Weiss during quiet (um, make that not-so-quiet) time. The same ones over and over…
-
Has the cutest little three-year-old voice and the silliest smile. 🙂
Mr. R
-
Climbs on everything, including the kitchen table. That monster shirt he’s wearing above is very appropriate!
-
Says Ha (Hi), Da (Dad), Uh-oh, drink (hubby claims – I haven’t heard it).
-
Loves lift-the-flap books, especially Where’s Spot. Giggles adorably when I make the different animal sounds. 🙂
-
Is a very messy eater. When he’s done, he starts squashing his food and sweeping it onto the floor.
-
Still nursing and still not sleeping through the night (but better than he was).
