One Sweet Thing

Brady is out tonight, which means I had to do the whole 'bedtime routine' alone. This can be a challenge. 

Now, the girls are always angels. They both go right to sleep. And sometimes, the boys are sweet and wonderful too. Sometimes. And sometimes, they talk, play and generally misbehave and drive me crazy. This was the case tonight. So, now that they're all finally quiet, I have determined to calm my spirit by picking up my laptop and writing something sweet and adorable about each of my children. Because in spite of the fact that they some nights make me crazy, I can't help but love them with all my heart. 

Jaxson.  He's such a good big brother. He loves his baby sister so much and they have such a special bond. She loves to play with him! She often goes over to him and lifts up her arms for him to pick her up to play. At night, when we go in to tuck the boys into bed, Lilah just won't stop blowing kisses to Jaxson. He's so smart and intuitive. He's so helpful to me with the other kids. He's got such a good heart. 

Ellie. She's such a sweet thing! She's a total clown. She loves to make us laugh. She loves to dress up in hilarious outfits. She loves to dance and sing. She's so smart! She's learned to read so quickly I can barely keep up with her! She helps me with the baby so much. She's always fetching diapers and sippy cups. She gets Lilah up in the morning and plays with her to keep her happy. She's just a natural little mommy. 

Vance. What a sweet, amazing child. Every day he makes me laugh. Every day he makes our lives great. He says the greatest, funniest things! He's so loving. He's such a great cuddle bug! When you need a squeeze, he's always happy to oblige! Usually you can get an eskimo kiss from him too! He's an absolute doll. There isn't another kid like him in the world. 

Lilah.  She's growing so quickly. She's probably the sweetest, cutest baby ever! She's such a daddy's girl now! It's so cute. Every time Brady comes in the door, Lilah runs (which is really funny, because she just started walking) up to him, arms in the air saying "Dada! Dada!". Then she won't let him put her down again. She's so in love with her daddy! 

Ahhh. Much better. Sweet dreams, babies!
