I am the mother of 4 boys. Yes 4. No, I'm not trying for a girl. No, I don't wish one of them was a girl (why do people say stupid things like that?). My oldest is 9 already so I missed many years of good blogging material. At least he has a scrapbook of his first few months of life. The other 3 I just have some pictures and photobooks.
Noah. He's 9. I want to remember vividly the way he prances around the house when he's happy and excited. How amazingly talented and creative he is. How hard he works through all his struggles and challenges to be successful. I see big things for him. I fully expect that his learning disability will one day be his strength and give him that "out of the box" creative insight that others want but never quite achieve. I want to always remember how loving, caring, and empathetic he is. He wears his heart on his sleeve, just like his mama. He's very social and very easy going. He loves to draw. He loves money (yes, money lol). He's doing very well with karate and enjoys baseball and all things Lego. The beauty of this blog is that I can journal what he's doing now and reminisce about him from years past. Maybe I can make this happen and turn these moments and memories in to a "forget me not" platform. Maybe, just maybe, I can call it a mommy win. :)
Eli is 5. He's going to preschool and is doing great. He really loves it, but will tell you he doesn't. He is such a perfectionist, but also very hot headed. Not a great combo. He gets that from his mama. He is such a boy. Constantly playing ball in the house. Always rough housing. Fart and poop jokes galore! He's stubborn. Oh boy, is he stubborn! He's also sweet and funny. He wants to be a policeman when he grows up. It's a little scary to think about, but I could totally see that. He likes to help people but also likes to be in charge. Lol
My threenager is Isaac. Or Sir Isaac as I like to call him. He's never wrong. A little bossy. Very sweet and a little sensitive. He climbs everything and is my dare devil. Only one er visit so far luckily. He loves his mama and has always been a big mama's boy, but the arrival of his baby brother has turned him into a daddy's boy a little more. He's very sweet but a little naughty too. He has the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen.
Baby brother, Abel, joined us in October and completed our party of 6. He's my biggest baby and such a treasure. He's starting to smile and coo and be more observant of his surroundings. So far he's pretty easy going. You have to be when you're 4/4 boys. Ha! He likes mama the most and doesn't like to be away from me. He hates his carseat. HATES IT. So car rides are super fun. I return to work next week. I love my job, but I've never dreaded going to work so much in my life. Pray for us as we venture in to this uncharted territory of leaving the baby while I'm at work.
Our 4 boy legacy. The legacy of Travis and Melissa. The best parts of us. Our proudest accomplishment is being their parents. God truly blessed us. And I never want to forget.
