3 Things

 I had a moment the other day... I realized how quickly my babies are growing. I can't believe our BABY will be 3 in May! It's wild. So I can look back & remember the special things about the boys at certain ages, I like to do a 3 things post every once in awhile... so today is that :) 

Jacoby

1. He is obsessed with dinosaurs. It's what he wants to read about, learn about, watch shows about...he asks his brothers to play dinosaurs where they all walk around stomping & making dino noises hahha...and almost all of his schoolwork ends up having some kind of dinosaur on it. I love that he is so passionate about it and I love that he knows dinos well enough that he can correct me on punctuation 😉

2. Basketball is his jam. He LOVES to play soccer, but his favorite sport to watch is basketball. He wakes up in the morning and while he eats breakfast, he watches highlight reels of previous Bulls games! It's so cute because it's something him & Nate can just really connect on. He loves talking basketball with his daddy. 

3. He's doing so well at school. I never had a doubt but even with all the weirdness of this year, he's flourished. I've seen him grow so much both academically and socially, and it's so fun to hear about his day & his friendships. It really makes him feel like a big boy. 

Maddox

1. Maddox is my cuddly boy. He often comes up to me and says "I just want to give you a hug mama". He also tells me almost every day "You're my sweetest mommy". Physical touch is his love language and it makes so much sense to me why his whole first year of life, he needed to nurse every 3 hours- and a bottle was not acceptable haha! He just loves to be close to people. If we are eating dinner in a booth at a restaurant, he will be as close as possible to you...and while sometimes I might just want my space while I eat...I also love it because he does it so unintentionally. It's like his body just does it naturally. It's who he is and I love that about him. 

2. He has learned so well to play with both Jacoby & Kendry. In the fall when Jacoby went off to kindergarten every day, Maddox had to learn how to play without Jacoby and just with Kendry. It's been so beautiful to watch M & K's friendship and see how they bond. They can fight like no other but they also love each other deeply and seeing the friendship past just brotherhood is so sweet. They're little scooter buddies riding around the driveway for hours!  I'm just so proud of Maddox...being the middle child isn't always easy :) 

3. He lovesssss superheroes. He thinks they're awesome and he loves to talk about all of their super powers...and often questions me about it and I have no idea hahah! I can't wait until he's old enough to watch all the fun superhero movies!

Kendry

1. My baby is getting so big. I can NOT believe he'll be 3 in May. He's truly the baby of the family, he gets spoiled & loved on, but also gets beat up on by his 2 older brothers. This kid though...he knows how to fight back :) He's sweet as pie until his brothers mess with him and then he takes what he's learned from his older brothers & fights back TOUGH. I honestly think the other 2 boys are scared of him just a little bit! 

2. He loves being outside. Almost every time we come home from anywhere, he asks if he can play outside or ride his scooter. Fresh air always does us good.. and I'll never tire of watching him on his scooter! He's SO good and he never gets tired of riding it! 

3. He is my best errand buddy. We have Mommy & Kendry days when the big 2 are in school and we usually run a lot of errands and he's SO easy to do it with! He happily talks to me and plays with whatever random toy he chooses to bring from home. He never complains and makes me laugh constantly. He generally makes the whole store laugh bc he cannot comprehend an inside voice hahaha but I just love having him as my errand buddy.
