"a portrait of each of my children, once each week, in 2018"
Jaden: You have been fighting with us a lot lately about wanting to stay up later - on school nights and on weekends. The funny thing is that when we let you stay up later, you sleep in later, and then you're cranky that you wasted some of your morning away by sleeping in longer. ;) You're definitely in need of the Christmas break that awaits you. I can tell school is tiring you out more now that your subjects are getting more challenging, and with it being the heart of basketball season also, I'm ready to give you some much needed r&r over the holidays.
Brandon: You battled a short stomach bug and a very low grade fever this week, but you were so mature about it and handled it all so well! The night that you threw up, you completely took care of yourself until you came into our bedroom to tell us that you'd been getting sick. You never cried, you made sure to clean up after yourself and wash your hands a lot... but the hardest part for you was keeping your distance from your baby sis. I love watching you care for her.
Kaitlyn: You are such a little stinker! The more your personality blossoms, the more we see the sugar and spice in you. :) You are sweet as can be most of the time - happy and content and actually pretty quiet when all is well with your world. But when you want something or you're upset? Watch out! You have gotten quite bossy, but it's pretty funny to watch and listen to! You don't cry, you just yell at us, and I'm pretty sure you would be stomping your feet, too if you could. ;) We just laugh and shake our heads in awe of you and your ways. God broke the mold with you, baby girl! I'm off work for almost the next two weeks, and I'm ready to cuddle and play and cuddle some more!
