We are getting into the swing of things with four kids at home and it is busy! Some days I feel like we have been doing this forever and that it is going great. Other days I wonder if we will ever have a normal routine. I guess that is just the nature of having little kids! I am finally getting back to babysitting full time and that of course has brought on new challenges. Other then that all the kids are doing well.
Cameron is doing wonderful with 3rd grade. His homework had definitely gotten harder but he is also doing some of it more independently then last year. He is also doing awesome with his newest sporting event, flag football. Ben is helping coach and they both seem to be enjoying it.
As for the twins, they are two years old and that equals CRAZY. Really they are super good! They share most of the time and they like to get things for each other, like their milks. They are so different from one another that it amazes me everyday. Calvin loves to follow you around everywhere and do what you are doing. He is always working and loves to help. Totally a people pleaser and will do anything to make you laugh. On the flip side is also needs a great deal of attention and is into biting right now. He will bite anyone, at anytime. He has been getting a lot of "time outs" lately for biting or pushing and now he will do something and then ask to go in "time out". I think he just needs a chance to settle down and that is how he does it.
Clayton is a hot/cold kid. He can be super happy one moment and then be yelling and crying the next. He loves to laugh and be tickled. Clayton also loves to play pretty independently and does not like this to be interrupted. He also appears to be our bossy one and loves to tell everyone what to do and where he wants them to go or be. The last couple days this has been cracking us up because Ben cut his hair Monday and since then every time Clayton sees him he says "Daddy put a hat on". Both of the boys are talking like crazy now. It is so cool to hear them express themselves even when they are yelling it.
Kenzie is also super. She just turned 6 weeks and is starting to smile. She had her first sleepover by Grandma Grace and Grandpa Dick this past Friday and she smiled a bunch for them too. Other that that is sleeps, eats, poops, and cries. Nights continue to get better and she is usually only getting up once, which makes is so much easier on us.
Yet again I better get some sleep. I always think I am going to do a real brief update and end up writing a book.
