Love Their Faces, Adore Their Hearts

Leah is just full of herself these days! She is not slow to hit you with a, "Because I said so!". She's quickly approaching "preschooler" and not "toddler" and I'm really not sure how I feel about that. It seems like every day we have more and more conversations. She's starting to get to the stage where I can almost reason with her.



"I want a movie!" She demands while driving down the road.


"You want to watch a movie?" I ask, to confirm her demands.


"Yes!" She replies. {Really it's more of a YESTH.}


It feels like, “I want the car keys!” Is just around the corner. Where did the time go?!

Hailey scares me to death. She is beautiful. Like, GORGEOUS. I know I’m biased, but it still worries me. And her spunk? Oh my goodness this girl is the DEFINITION of spunky. No really, look:


spunky


Pronunciation: \ˈspəŋ-kē\

Function: adjective

Inflected Form(s): spunk·i·er; spunk·i·est

Date: 1786

: full of spunk

See? I’m surprised there is not a picture of her there. I should recommend this photo be used:

** Does she not just LOOK super spunky?! Or maybe this one:

** She did that pose on all her own, which I believe is proof of her spunkiness.



Today Hailey told Leah to, and I quote, “Shut your pine hole!!”

”Hailey”, I inform her, “It’s PIE hole, not PINE hole.”


She rolled her eyes at me, and sighed.

Somehow I was left feeling like I was the wrong one. She made me feel stupid. And small.

Joshua is having such a hard time with 2nd* grade. The mama bear in me wants to sweep in and save him and make his world perfect and fair. But that’s not how life is. Life is full of trials and tribulations. I am just SO not ready for him to be facing them yet. Part of wants to home school him, but I feel like he would be miserable. Plus if I wanted to be a teacher, I would be in schools getting paid for it. I wish I could be a home schooling mom. But I don’t think it would be beneficial to either of us.


He’s so incredibly smart it’s scary.

I have never met a more caring young by that could be so cool at the same time. He is truly a boy after my own heart.

Today he said his favorite movie was Zombieland. And he loves dinosaurs.


He’s too awesome for his own good.
