1. With grad classes, full-time teaching, and full-time mommyhood, I have no life of my own! ;)
2. Vaelyn is VERY DRAMATIC, so a lot of what she does is just hilarious because EVERYTHING if of the utmost importance.
3. Jayden is much more calm and just doesn't get into as much trouble as Vaelyn does. When he does get into trouble, there's usually nothing funny about it!
So. . . here's a little about Jayden that's not funny. :)
1. Jayden can finish hammering a nail into a board straight after it is started (only minimally) for him. He doesn't hit his fingers either.
2. Jayden sat through a very large portion of the service Sunday and two LONG prayers very well. Then, the children got to go to children's church.
3. Jayden is very dexterous. He can just pick things up and figure out how they go together. Unfortunately, something that goes along with this is a desire to know how everything works, which involves taking almost everything apart, which leads to a LOT of broken toys, etc. I have tried explaining that almost everything will come apart one way or another, but not everything goes back together!!!!!!!!!!!
4. Jayden can recognize several words (so can Vaelyn), and he has been able to spell his name since he was 2 1/2 or 3. (Vaelyn still doesn't always spell hers right--she wants a D in the middle like Jayden has sooooo badly that she usually adds one herself).
5. Jayden doesn't really like to draw, but Mommy has convinced him that "drawing his letters" is fun, and now he is writing his name and able to write all his letters, whereas before, he wouldn't even try, saying he couldn't.
6. Jayden is already quite compassionate for a five-year-old. He has such a beautiful heart.
