Funny Things My Kids Do, Part 329 :)

Parenting is such a cool thing. I think I want my kids to stay their same age forever. Then they grow, and they get more awesome. Which I wouldn't think is possible but it is. I love that.
They make me smile, and it is a true joy to get to raise these amazing kids.

Caleb:
- he is in the inquisitive stage. He asks tons of questions a day. He usually starts with "hey, mom, guess what?"
- Caleb is the most thorough, thoughtful person I know. He makes no decision without carefully thinking through it. I love that about him.
- he is such an easy kid to raise. He doesn't care much for school (even though he's smart), but other than that, he is easy. At bedtime, he comes out of his bedroom about 12 times. If that's his biggest downfall, I'd say we are good!
- Caleb is obsessed with toys. He peruses toy websites, catalogs; he asks about them a lot. It's so cute. My dad always pays him for random stuff, and he LOVES that!

Chloe:
- before she falls asleep, she calls out from her room for me to scratch her back. When I'm scratching, every time she says, "when you're done, pull my shirt down, put the sheets on me."
- she's obsessed with cheerleading. She has memorized every cheer at the Boca games!
- when she lies, she smiles and it's so obvious, haha
- she uses term "easy peasy" about everyday. As in, "let's make snowflakes; it's easy peasy!"

Luke:
- he wipes off my kisses often (he doesn't like being wet at all....if I touch him with recently washed hands, he hates it)
- he is just seriously adorable: his language and voice are beyond precious
- he has unrivaled stubbornness that is hilarious
- I've said this before: his attention to detail is beautiful. He notices my haircuts, a new shirt, if I wear a watch, etc. It's super sweet!

Levi:
- oh, my baby!! I adore this boy!
- he is beyond precious: such an easy baby
- Levi laughs so much! He belly laughs and its the best!
- he sleeps pretty well! Yay!
- he is so chill; he fits in well with our family!

The Book I May or May Not Write

I have the nicest friends in the world.  When I write a short, quippy thing my kid said on Facebook, my very nicest friends will say, "I can't wait for you to write a book." I sort of feel like people are American Idoling me....you know, encouraging me to do something I'm passionate about even though I am not really good at it---never thinking I would actually have the audacity to pursue it---but then they're in too deep with the lie....but even so, those comments make me feel good.  (Which is kind of weird, possibly narcissistic, because it's actually my kids being entertaining, and not my words.  Yet I press on.) I wrote for 31 days straight in October, and I discovered maybe I am not so good at writing more than 2 sentences at a time.  So I decided maybe writing a book wasn't in my future. But then I spent a lot of time thinking during November and realized that, even if no one reads what I write, I think it would be really fun to put into words w...

Another Child One Day

Going back through my posts, I realized I had a few blogs I wrote but never published. One is when I was wavering between adopting or birthing our fourth child. One thing is for sure: our family is not complete. I cannot explain that other than I just know. For awhile there, I was strongly contemplating adopting, but for now, I am leaning more towards birthing the last child. In fact, I am most certain, God willing, that is what our plans are. We are trying to decide when to try to have a baby. And by "try", I mean get pregnant. I have many weaknesses, but fertility is not one of them. In case you can't tell. Our kids are fairly close, so one part of me wants to get pregnant in about 9-10 months....and be done. Forever!! But another part of me wonders if I should take a longer break. See, I have this really weird feeling (that is probably not going to happen) that I will have twins. For one, Brett has always wanted five kids, and I only want four. Things jus...

Christmas Traditions

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Along with pretty much everyone else, this is my most favorite holiday. As my children age, it just keeps getting better and better!! Establishing traditions is one of my goals during the holiday season. I am a sentimental person, and I am hopeful my kids will grow up with fond memories of their childhood Christmases. Most, if not all, of my traditions are not original. I glean ideas from others and make it my own. The Happy Home Fairy is a wonderful resource for making your holiday magical. The Williams Family traditions: - We stay home for Christmas. We travel during the holiday break, but for Christmas Eve and Day, we are home. To be honest, this was hard to do because I know family members on both sides want to see our kids, but I wanted to do what was best for our family. We welcome anyone who wants to come visit on Christmas, so we are great to have others in our home. And there are many reasons we choose to stay home. ...
