My Boys


What can I tell you about my boys? lots actually, Josh 8 yrs old is the oldest of my boys, most of the time he is a very sweet and sensitive kid. and generally good with his younger brothers, esp Dominic, they have a special relationship those two, you should hear Dom say "Josh" in fact I will try and video him saying it and then try and post it here. Josh is very helpful and has even tried his hand at diaper changing! poopy ones at that!! He is in 3rd grade and so far is doing great, we are working with him on spelling, he spells everything phonetically and so sometimes has difficulty with his spelling, but with lots of practice so far he is pulling an A in spelling! Yeah Go Josh!!
A blue belt in Karate he is learning discipline, and great Karate skills, he is even teaching some neighborhood boys the Kata! So he is great with Dom, but can be an instigator with Zach, those two butt heads a lot, and it seems Josh gets into more trouble with Zach around I guess they love to hate each other?? I am praying that their relationship will get stronger with time and with direction on our part we can;t however make them be best friends we can train them how to treat one another even when they are at odds.

Zach our 5 yr old is the drama king! everything is so dramatic to his reaction to bed time to being told to clean his room, Ahhhh with him the whining gets a little old, on the other hand he is super fun and the clown of the family, he is hands on wanting to help with everything from cooking to yard work to Dad's chores, he wants to know how to do it all, he even loves to clean the bathroom! But tell him to pick up toys and his room and watch out the "Might winger" comes out in force .

Dominic.......I pause for I don't want to be negative in my description of our Little Dom! little is actually not a great word for him, he may be small but oh boy does he have a larger than life personality! lets put it this way it took us 4 children before we had to lock all the cabinets, close bathroom doors, lock the front and back doors, for sure lock the pantry! and keep out of reach any kind of creams, lotions, paints, glue, pens and markers!!
He has just turned 2 and is quite a character, very endearing people fall in love him, he is just so darn cute! even when he gets into trouble he puts out his bottom lip and sits in timeout and looks so adorable.......boy do we have our hands full! all that being said I love and adore all my boys for their differences, for their God given personalities and gifts and talents. I am blessed,
