Living Life
Life.
It has been so busy lately. I have honestly felt a stirring inside of me telling me to slow down and enjoy the ride. So, that is what the Roberts family is planning on doing. I am going to spend more time at home and just soak in this season of life.
Speaking of this season....here's a summary.
Leyton is in 2nd grade. He just finished up baseball so the only activity he is doing right now is paino. It has been nice having more free time in the afternoons. His favorite show is Lab Rats, he enjoys reading, and "battling" with his brother. He has been enjoying playing some family kickball outside at night and he tries to make up all the rules for us to follow. Some may call this bossy...I'd like to think of him as assertive.
Harrison is in Kinder. He went through a rough patch at the beginning of this year. He threw some terrible fits and struggled with his emotions. He was overly-sensitive about things that he normally wouldn't be sensitive about. We are still working through some of these things, but he is doing so much better. His teacher says that he is such a perfectionist at school---we are thinking he just needs to work through some of the new experiences he is facing. It's a lot for a 6 year old to take in! He just finished up baseball and his soccer is wrapping up this week. We are glad to slow down and hang out with our sweet little Sonny Boy. He enjoys playing the Wii, battling his brother, going on adventures, and spending time with his family. Oh, and the boy loves cookies.
Erin-Elizabeth is enjoying her last year of Pre-K. She has one friend at school that she is not allowed to sit by because they talk too much. Looks like she may have gotten my social gene. Other than the chatting, she is a rule follower at school. She loves to be a "fashion girl"---which I have no idea where she came up with that term. She plays so well by herself...almost always carrying on a full conversation with herself. She is a great sister to Ruby---except Ruby would probably enjoy a little more space. Honestly, my girl is huge help to me and I truly enjoy spending time with her by my side. Soccer is wrapping up---she really wants to try gymnastics. We will see.
Ruby is adjusting to the family. She is getting more spunky. She only pees on our brand new carpet...never a hard surface. Lovely. I'm praying this potty training thing happens sooner rather than later. She is a gentle little lovebug though. We are so thankful for her.

Happy Birthday, LNR!

| Leyton is 8! This may have been the toughest birthday yet for this mom. Eight just seems so grown up. He is halfway to his drivers license...and then just 2 years after that he is off to college. I know it seems like I am getting ahead of myself, but MAN---TIME REALLY DOES FLY! OK...enough about me...let's talk about my 8 year old. Dear Leyton, Happy Birthday to YOU! I love being your mom. I love snuggling you at night and giving you "armpit massages" because you're sooooo stressed out. ;) Hearing you laugh that hard makes me happy. I love that your favorite thing to do is to spend time with your family. You are filled with questions---most of them I have to google to find the answer. You love to read and spend hours each night finishing your book rather than sleeping. You push the limits almost daily. You have an awesome sense of humor that you save for only those you are really comfortable with. (just like your daddy) You love to hear stories from when we were all little. You do great in school. You are a stellar big brother. I honestly could not ask for a single thing more in a son. You are my most favorite 8 year old and my heart is overflowing with love for you, Tones Bones. Thanks for being you! Love, Mommy, Daddy, Harrison, EE, and Ruby |
