It's been awhile since I've updated about the kids...what they're into, what they like to do, and the funny things they do/say.
Walker...at 8 years old:
- knows a lot about cars...he can distinguish between two on the road just by listening to their sounds AND he can identify a car's make and model by its headlights/taillights (most of the time)
- doesn’t love that our house is organized; he has expressed to me that he wishes it was messy so he could find his toys (that would presumably be all over the floor throughout the house)
- loves his Hot Wheels and has quite the collection
- chews on the collar of his shirt
- needs to have enough room in his shoes so he can curl his toes; he says he does this when he hears "things that make him nervous or when things make him feel funny"
- doesn’t "like crunchy stuff when it’s close to the good stuff" (he's referring to food — like ends of a cookie cake, pizza crust, bread crust, etc…)
- has a lot of close friends -- from all areas of his life
- continues to be a sweet, considerate boy...don't get me wrong, he can be a total stinker at times, but if he senses that I'm upset with him AT ALL, he will immediately correct his behavior (smart boy!)
Lainey...at 9 years and 10 months old:
- loves to dance (obviously) and tumble and she also loves slime
- likes to sing but claims that we've never heard her real singing voice
- literally, just the other day, asked me if people really saw in "black and white" a long time ago (like on T.V.)
- has a "smaller eye" like her mom does...my right eye is smaller than my left, Lainey's left eye is smaller than her right
- continues to get distracted VERY easily, except when at school or at dance
- has a great group of friends - mostly those friends are from dance, but she remains friends with Kaitlyn from preschool...she also has a few close friends at school
- is a sweetheart who is very "present" at all times...I admire this about her! She doesn't worry too much about the future or the past; she just lives in the moment. I LOVE this about her!
