Is 7 1/2... man time flies. She is VERY into American Girls. She loves the movies, the books and of course wants a doll. Too bad the dolls are like a hundred bucks! (I am serious too!).
Her favorite activities at school are art and music. Haley's art work is often chosen to be displayed in the main school hall way. She told me the other day that during PE whenever given the option to sit and watch and cheer her friends/classmates on, that she chooses that!
Haley is still very picky about hat she wears. She picks out her outfit EVERY night before bed... and often wears them to bed so that she can sleep longer in the morning. Her style is very.... her.
She is still very quiet and hard to engage. She is a LOT like her daddy! (I say that with LOVE).
She is VERY independent. She wants to do EVERYTHING herself... Lets just say, as a punishment, sending her to her room as a time out would NOT be effective...
Hunter...
Is 5 1/2 and man, is he a smarty pants. He loves reading his books and working on school worksheets at home :). He still LOVES Thomas the train and loves that have deep conversations about which train would be the most USEful for X event..... (ie... X= carrying loads of boulders).
During math one day, the teacher was asking students to make their own addition problems. When it was Hunter's turn to share his math problem... his problem shocked his teachers a bit, (infinity + 0 = infinity) oh and he also drew the appropriate sign for infinity :).
A conversation I had with Hunter the other day in the car:
Hunter: Mom, I miss Kiwi (our dog who died this past summer)
Me: You do huh?
H: Ya, Lucy (our current dog) wont play tag with me.
m: Tag? Did kiwi play tag?
H: Ya
M: How did Kiwi tag you?
H: When I would grabbed her tail, she always tagged me with her teeth
Jonah...
Is 2 1/2 years old. He talks all the time. (Well, not when he is around anyone that isn't around him a lot) I am sure the ladies at church think he is probably the rudest kid around. When he gets to church every Sunday, he refuses to even LOOK at the teacher in the face and gives EVERYONE who looks at him THE dirtiest looks!
Joe LOVES cars, Wow Wow Wubbzy, Mr. Men and Little Misses, and Hunter. :)
Joe still cusses all the time :( everyday! you'd think Jim or I had a foal mouth or something. The words he "messes up" with are: truck :) and Percy. Both things he plays with EVERY DAY. Joe is NOT a good eater :( errrrr.... he frustrates me so much! Every day it is pulling teeth to get him to eat anything!
He is such a cuddle-bug!
He is WAY into balls... throwing them, kicking them... very athletic.
Joe is not interested in academics as Hunter was by this age.
The kids are showing signs of a southern accent... not in every day speech, but more with certain words... Haley and Hunter both have teachers who have southern accents. Haley's teacher has a very thick southern accent.
Haley's "southern" words: Hair = Hay air, There = they air... any of those... stairs... you get it
Hunter: same as Haley's words... he also uses "yes ma'am" in his everyday responses.
It will be interesting to see how Joe develops his speech patterns.
