Rebekah: we had the first of what i believe will be MANY "heart to heart" talks with her last night. one of those "we love you so much, but we don't love what we're seeing" talks. she had a very open spirit when we talked, which was an answer to prayer.
Joshua: as fearful as he is about most things, you get that boy on wheels and he's CRAZY! rebekah got a scooter for her birthday. she likes to ride it up to school - and then joshua rides it home (so we don't have to lock it up or anything). he's a madman on that thing!
Bailey: her words are going to be her downfall. she NEVER stops talking. and that's just not good. it's going to get her in trouble. we have started a new thing in the morning. while i'm doing "school" with joshua, she's NOT ALLOWED TO SAY ONE WORD. for 15-20 minutes. it's amazing how hard it is for her. (and how nice it is for the rest of us!)
Sawyer: he's growing SO MUCH. i don't want him to. i love holding his whole little body in my arms. he hasn't slept through the night for a couple weeks. which is getting old. and i'm ready for more sleep. but i know it will pass soon. and i do love that quiet time in the night to just sit and be holding him.

question for you... I am trying to do school with Eli when he gets home from school.. ha ha, but english and motor skills, etc... and I was wondering what you do with your littler ones. I am having a hard time with Jasper while I try to do things with Eli. He is just standing next to the kitchen table screaming and wanting to do what we are doing. Any advice?
Isnt it crazy? When I hear her cry in the night I could just about cry myself. But by the time I'm in her room holding her and rocking, I'm in heaven.
I want it to end, and I dont ever want it to end.
I love hearing where each of your sweet children are at. Rebekah - can't believe she's at the "heart-to-heart meeting age already". I know you're probably rolling your eyes at that. it just shows you how quickly they grow. joshua - that kid really is a madman on wheels. Still can't believe he was riding a two-wheeler when he was 3...or was it 2? That kid is amazing! bailey - 15 minutes without talking? does she really sit there quietly or go somewhere else where she can talk to herself? so funny. Sawyer - glad you're cherishing these last days and weeks (praying that it's the LAST of these days for you) with him and you - just the two of you...in the quiet of the night.
