This sweet boy is turning out to be quite the Jack Jr. He LOVES science and math and dreads doing any homework but those subjects. He is excelling as one of the top in his Kindergarten class and is at a mid-1st grade reading level already. I am so amazed each and every time he reads to me. He even forgets he can read, he often asks me what something says and I remind him that he can read it himself. He and Jacob play so well together most days. They LOVE playing Lego's- Lego Star Wars or Lego Ninjago right now. Just recently (mid-April) his new obsession is mastering the jump rope after watching the "Jumpsters" perform at school...in just a week he says his "high score" for jumping is already at 21.
Jacob is changing everyday. He is in preschool and loves it! He is doing well with learning his numbers and writing his letters. His speech is getting better each day as well. His teacher tells me that he loves singing in class and loves to build stuff with the "robot blocks" (round, and cylindrical type connectors) and is slowly become less shy. His two good friends at school are Jacob and Kobe. He goes by Jake at school and often reminds me at home to call him that and not Jacob. Every Friday when he doesn't have school he and I have "mommy preschool" which usually consists of a few rounds of Candy Land practicing colors, and Slap Jack. While he is still a moody 3 yr old he is quite the jokester and loves making us laugh. He and Katy like to push each other's buttons, but still play with each other really well when they want to.
Sweet Katy Joy. This girl is changing so much by the second! She says so many words and has quite the feisty personality. She started going to nursery at church at the end of January and completely surprised me! As long as Jack drops her off she doesn't cry a single tear (complete opposite what our boys did in nursery!) She is just a social butterfly and LOVES it in there!
She has learned that with a stool at her feet she can access most anything that she wants. I often forget to shut the bathroom doors which gives her the opportunity to drag the various stools around the house to climb on things, it's only a matter of time before she figures out how to climb out of the crib....I'm not ready yet! She still loves dancing so much. She is always trying to copy what her brothers do. She can often be found fiddling around with her play kitchen toys and offering food to everyone in the family. This girl loves going through her dresser and shoes and brings them around the house until she can find someone willing to change her outfit for her. I think its hilarious how certain "girly" things are just born in girls. Its cute...and frustrating at the same time.

Wow, they are all so big and grown up! Katy's just darling - it IS fun to have a girl, huh? (but I must say I get SO sick of all the hairties I find all over the place...) :) I wish Cora could go to nursery so happily! she HATES it and is the first one to be like this. C + M went to nursery pretty easily. (sigh) hopefully she'll learn to like it!
