Randomness

Liam and Elijah are both in kindergarten this year. They had a paper to do over the weekend where they needed to practice writing their first name several times. I wish I had taken a picture of Elijah’s before we sent it back to school because he did such a great job. Liam is not at this level developmentally so he didn’t do his. But he did practice holding a crayon and coloring without throwing it. Caleb reads every night and we record it in his reading log for school. Sometimes he reads, and sometimes I read to him. All my boys love books.


The other morning, I got to put the boys on the bus. While I stood there waiting for them to get strapped in, I was waving at Liam. I also signed mama. Next thing I knew, he was signing mama and waving back. My heart just about burst.

Caleb and Elijah are the best of buddies most of the time. But they have a few things that they can’t agree on. They argue over who gets to turn the light on, who gets to choose a movie, who gets to let the dog out, who gets to let the dog in, who gets to open the door, who gets to get the juice out of the refrigerator…..I am going to have to get a little job chart together real soon! But I find it very comical at times, although I don’t let them know. I also am very happy to see them acting like other typical kids do with their siblings. Squabbling and all.:)

Jimmy has been his busy self, going out to eat or to a movie with friends, bowling on Wednesdays, and keeping me up to date with pretty much an hourly weather report. I love those weather reports! When Jimmy’s TV is on, he is usually watching a video or watching the national weather. He doesn’t usually watch regular TV shows.  Jimmy’s weather reports always include the temperature, chance of rain, cloudy or sunny skies….. and sometimes he adds what he wants for dinner in there too. For example, he may say, “Today is 70 degrees, cloudy skies, low wind, chance of rain 30%, and chili hotdogs for dinner.”
