she likes to take her baby doll and give it a bath, sing to it, feed it. isaiah wants to wrestle and play 'save the princess'. alaythia could care less about reading books when food is around. isaiah will give up just about anything to read. and the list goes on.
recently, i've been so surprised by alaythia's desire to write on EVERYTHING she sees. isaiah never once drew on the wall, or anything that he wasn't supposed to. i found a collection of markers as i was unpacking a box a few days ago. i mistakenly left them out, only to find alaythia scribbling on a stool, our desk and even the kitchen table. i'm shocked. i know i shouldn't be, but i am.

Nat-I found your blog through Adam. I totally relate with Jaxon and my little girl Ellia. She's only 10 months but already they are so very different in ways a lot like your 2. I'm very much enjoying reading your thoughts on life and mothering-you put into words what I feel a lot =)

I love it!! She looks so happy in her cabinet : )
I had/still have the same problem with #2! He ate board books (his sister carefully read paperbacks w/o pictures at 7mo)! He opened every cabinet, pulled out glass items, broke them, and tried to eat the glass (his sister only played in her cabinet)! And the list goes on... Sadly #3 is not much better. He has to keep up with his brother. God is truly using them to sanctify me!
