Hello, Everyone!
I must tell you when I did that survey back in December I LOVED reading your responses. For the most part, if you see a random blog post pop up, please note odds are someone asked me about the subject. I can’t guarantee that’s the case because it’s “A Little Bit of Everything” going on over here. Anything could happen. 🙂
I got asked about the big kiddos several times. Miss Britt has been getting the spotlight in this space for the last eight months and you guys are wondering about the big kiddos. So today I’m sharing a few little updates about them.
Here are a few little updates about my kiddos…
Ebby Lee:
*She is my people pleaser. She’s happy to do anything she’s asked. She’s the first to pick up, she puts her own laundry away like a champ, and no doubt-her closet is more organized than mine.
*She’s playing volleyball this winter and is also busy with dance classes. She’s added hip hop to her mix of classes and is LOVING it.
*Ebby Lee is the sweetest big sister. Her favorite after school activity is taking Britt upstairs to play. #meltmyheart
Nixon:
*This is my ALL-BOY kiddo that has two buttons…either he’s outside playing some kind of sport-maybe even one he’s made up OR he’s a couch potato and wants to be watching Dude Perfect trick shots on t.v. #noinbetween
*His teacher recently switched over to a new position in the district and he got a new teacher at the beginning of this January semester. He’s handling the transition like a boss. It would have been hard for even me to get a new teacher mid-year with new rules and such, but he’s go with the flow and it’s going great.
*Nixon can find ways to annoy Ebby Lee and Bowen in under two seconds flat, but he is putty in Britt’s tiny hands. I’ve never seen a kiddo get so wrapped around a baby’s finger before. He’ll do anything and everything for her. My favorite is listening to him talk to her. He’s mush, I’m telling you, but it’s precious to watch.
Bowen:
*Bowen is in that sweet spot between preschooler and total big kid. He’s found a way to enjoy all the perks of his small self while getting the benefits of big kid status as well. For example, he sleeps with the big kiddos, has the same bedtime and everything, but when it comes to carrying up all his clean laundry he’s convinced me his arms aren’t strong enough. #imasucker
*I’m not sure about you, but after Christmas we need ALL THE ORGANIZATION. I was going through things and had made little piles at the bottom of the stairs for each kiddo to carry up and put away. Some items might be random things they had brought down but others were brand new gifts they’d just received. I gave them time to put them all away and then told them I’d be throwing away things left on the stairs. This usually puts them in high alert and gets them moving QUICKLY. Except Bowen, he came down to the bottom of the stairs, slowly looked over everything in his pile and then replied with, “Mom, you can throw my stuff away. I don’t really want any of that.” YOU GUYS! It had NEW toys he’d just gotten for Christmas, but he was TOO LAZY to put them up! Um…NO! Needless to say, he got a big talking to-and quickly put all his new toys away. I’m still shaking my head about him saying this!
*He’s going to preschool three days a week this year and absolutely loves it! His teachers, his new friends, and his school is going great. I cannot believe he’ll be in kindergarten this fall. My plan this semester is to soak up our Mondays and Fridays around here doing fun things.

That’s what’s going on around here with these cuties. 🙂
Hope you enjoyed our update. XO
