I often call them my entourage as they get toted around to meetings and on errands - usually walking a few feet behind me as I rush around - often carrying a toolbox full of trucks or a bag with coloring or (Drew's favorite) a "spy" notebook. They're usually good sports unless of course I beg them ahead of time to be on their best behavior and then they try to be as naughty as possible.
Here's the latest on my entourage:
Ty starts every sentence with "HEEELLLLOOO" - very 11-teen-year-old-ish.
His favorite response to anything I ask is "NO WAY MOM!" (Unless I ask Ethan or Drew to do something and then he's all over it)
He has incredible dancing skills. All my kids have rhythm but Ty takes it to a whole new level.
Sick and tired of his carseat - he begs to sit in a booster.
He'll still let me cuddle him when he is tired or lazy but wipes off every kiss I give him.
Drew just makes life so easy.
He loves to play with friends and would have someone over every day if I was up for it.
Eats like a bird but is always on the lookout for sugar, sweets and dessert.
Just learned to drop in on his skateboard and moved up to Rippers 1. Was so proud of himself that I almost cried.
Ethan gets funnier every day.
Quotes movies and gives nicknames to his friends.
Doing really well in school but has a hard time sitting still (ahem... Eric D)
Loves to read, learning to love piano and is a really good big brother - cheers them on and comforts them - at least when he isn't torturing them.
Really glad that I'm their mom.
