A while ago I picked up some deodorant for my husband at the store. David was so disappointed when he learned it wasn't for him! He wants to grow up and he wants to wear deodorant! So I bought him some at the store as a special treat and he is so happy. This morning he came into our room, Kirk and I were laying on the bed. In all seriousness he says, "Mom, Dad, do you think I should trade the Saints defense for the Giants?" He plays his first fantasy football game today. He is for sure his father's son when it comes to sport statistics and his ability to remember them.
Last night as I was tucking Tyler in bed I was telling him how special he was and talked about his special talent to make things. He made a literal stick figure of his teacher, for his teacher. He wrapped a pipe cleaner around the neck for a scarf. I told him that I thought he would be a great builder someday. He replied that he wants to be a farmer. He said that when he was at grandpa's field his eyes didn't itch around the horses, but when he got around the alfalfa that's when his eyes itched, so he still wants to be a farmer. He should have been born on a farm, for reals, it would have suited him much better.
Ethan is in fourth grade and that means he gets to play the recorder. He has taken that very seriously and plays a lot. Consequently Reggie is scratching at the door to go out a lot. Ethan has got great study habits in all aspects of his life. This school year he has been recognized for his abilities in different areas. He has been selected to participate in special programs and receive special awards. It makes my job so easy because he is so self motivated and does take things seriously.
Jacob is the most easy going in our family. He just rolls with the punches and doesn't get in much trouble. Just like David he loves wearing deodorant but he is just a little boy at heart. He has always been so good to play make believe things with Tyler. He has always been the most fascinated by video games and by far the most competitive at them. He loves to play with other kids and gets along with all of his brothers. Since moving downstairs and getting a big room to himself, he has taken great pride in taking care of it.
Each one of my boys is growing up so much each year. Just watching them play football I can't believe the growth from one year to the next. I need to be better at blogging and recording more of the small events around the house.
