Mischief Maker and School Days

I know every child is different. My children are polar opposites. Kenlee is very calm, orderly, never rarely sneaky, quiet and a perfectionist. This is Emerson..

 I kid you not, this was taken out, ripped up and scattered around the bathroom in under 15 seconds

 

 This is how my little guy played with toys from the moment he could stand. All of them. All at once. Empty it all.

 

 I would not want him any other way. I am constantly thankful for the boy he is because I KNOW God made him to be exactly the little guy he is suppose to be. I pray to be the mommy to him that he needs and to encourage his little heart daily and discipline him without breaking his spirit. I pray for a wife that compliments his personality and loves Kenlee. 

 Kenlee started her preschool on Wednesday. She is so big and was so ready!

 She likes everything in order and likes to be prepared for what will happen each day. She wanted to know if she will take her bow off for nap, if she can have her water anytime she wants  or if the teacher will tell her when she can have it, if her cubby will ALWAYS be her cubby or will it change and of course, when will it be time to dance.

By our newest of trees so we can watch it and our Children grow.

(excuse or dead and dying grass and the thriving weeds!)

 I said "Kenlee please hold the sign pretty AND smile." she said "I am trying mommy, but the sign is awkward." Clearly.... see below.

 

 This is Mrs. April. Kenlee was a little over the picture taking and asked if I could leave now. WHAT?!?! I love her confidence and try hard to mold a sense of it in her. I do want a strong, brave little girl but I secretly would have loved a little hesitation on the FIRST day.

 I am so thankful for my children and for what they bring to our lives. I am thankful for every piece of who they are and what they are to each other.  Lately my favorite thing is after my very big three year old has put on her own pjs, brushed her teeth and hair, said "I will do it!" eighteen times, picked her own book and probably told me half the words she always says "I love you to the moon and out mommy. You will always be my mommy. Sing me a goodnight song please."

 

Love- Mommy
