OK, I'm not trying to overly brag about how wonderful my kids are...but they are so, so sweet and I can't help it. Ever since we've told them that we would be having another baby they have been extra helpful and understanding of me being sick. Now that Ally is in school all day, Isaac has really turned into a "big boy". All day he plays with his little brother and is so sweet to him. He finds games that he knows Austin will love and doesn't seem to care as much when Austin ruins his forts or towers. He is so patient with me and always cleans up right when I ask-even if it is not his mess. It just seems like all the sudden one day he woke up and decided that he was going to grow up! He is so very sweet!
We have been known to refer to Ally as our perfect child. It just seems like she has always had a desire to do exactly what is right, and loves doing it. Now, that being said, she does get insanely upset over hair and clothes. But really, truly other than that-I'm not sure she does anything wrong. She is such a natural little mother. The minute she gets home from school she opens her lunchbox and gives her brothers anything leftover from her lunch-they LOVE this! She is also so eager to help me. Honestly ANYTHING I ask her to do, she does. It doesn't matter if she is in the middle of playing barbies or drawing a picture, she always just goes right away. The other day as I was so pitifully laying on the couch being sick, Ally came and said, "Mom, I have a surprise for you that you are really going to love." I didn't want to get up, but I closed my eyes and let her lead me to the "surprise". When we got to the bathroom I opened my eyes and saw that she had cleaned the whole thing for me. She was so proud of herself and of course I broke down crying "happy tears" (as Ally calls them). She so special!
So as you can see I am very fortunate to be living with real life angels. And for this reason, in the mist of being sick-I am so grateful to be having another one!!!
