Kayla and Alex were in a xmas play at school. I just got off the phone with them about a half hour ago and Alex let it slip....and so did Kayla, lol, that there is a surpise coming in the mail for Grandma. (I can't be Nana to them, they're too "old" now lol) I am so hoping it's their new school pics and pics of their xmas play!
They just received all their xmas presents and a huge box of clothes from us. Sounded like they were about to pop out of their skin.
Kayla said there are presents everywhere Grandma and Santa hasn't even come yet! lmao So I'm guessing this is their biggest xmas ever. (well, that they can remember. They used to have them here)
Then soberly, lil Alex asks me what I want Santa to bring me for xmas. Now Alex is a difficult child. And he's so special to me. He's MRDD, and honestly I place him in my mind's eye as younger than Darrin. But just as seriously I tell him that Santa already gave me exactly what I've always wanted for xmas. Alex got all excited and asked me what it was...... And I told him that Santa gave me back his Mommy and Kayla, him, and Evan!
He jumped off the phone and had to go tell each one of them.
He is such a major sweetheart. Then he told me he's gonna pop before Santa gets there he's so excited. lol
Kayla is still a little Mother Hen. Talks a mile a minute. And everything seems to "freak her out". lol Cracks me up every single time she says it.
Evan is the family streaker. He detests clothing. And at 3 does his all out best to stay bare to the bone. K is looking into having him tested for Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) and autisum.
Darrin......Has his mother's kind heart and gentle soul. He loves everyone. He's Nana's and Mommy's helper. Oh, and of course Daddy's too. lol Ok, so we may be dealing with some Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) cleaning issues later down the road, but right now having him offer to clean entire rooms is pretty cool. And he does an amazing job.
Darrin has been teaching himself to read and write simple words.
Aubrey is the "old soul" of the bunch. Frighteningly insightful, too quick to pick up on anything you show her just once. She's the snuggly one, eager to just sit and cuddle for hours if you'd let her. Yet she'll also be one to climb on anything given half the chance. She's an animal lover just like her Mom. And she helps care for the house pets.....and NEVER forgets to feed them.
Can't wait to see what sort of personality the soon to be new member of the family, Brandon, will have when he arrives in Feb. Ought to be interesting with as uncomfortable he's making his mother during this pregnancy. And he seems determined to be breech.
I love to hear all the Grandma brags.
Oh, and MWM...........get an account set up at Photobucket.com. Upload your pics there. Once that's done grab the link you'll see listed below it on your photobucket page and just add it into your post. I wanna see my new grandnephew before he's old enough to tell you how to do it. LOL
Woofens...your grandaughter is absolutely adorable.
I'm not posting pics just yet. I want easy child and Nichole to scan in Darrin's and Aubrey's Santa pics and hopefully get the one's of Kayla Alex and Evan first.
