I love having a little prince around the house. Bryson brings so much happiness to our home and Lord knows there is never a dull moment with that kid. I love each one of our kids and they each have their own personality and individuality that makes my life that much happier.

So, Bryson is 3 1/2 and his speech is improving (i worry that he may need to have speech classes but his pre-school teacher is "observing" this for me) but a lot of times just us immediate family can pick up on exactly what he is saying and there are times we aren't sure either :) nonetheless, since he does have 2 older sisters that like to speak for him and are really like 2 other mothers the kid doesn't really stand a chance!

It's quite adorable watching the girls with him. They are very defensive of him and they love it when they are the one who has taught him something new! If I have to close at work, I love to come home to find all three of the kids snuggled up in one bed fast asleep. Usually one of them is turned in an odd direction while another has an arm thrown over another. These are moments that i stand in their doorway and just watch. Priceless. I will never get these back. Sometimes while standing there I just say a quick thank you Lord prayer for these children and for allowing me to be the chosen one to be their mother. I feel so blessed. At other times I laugh and think how uncomfortable they must be but yet they do it every night, willingly. They have their own beds but just choose to sleep all together. kids. they are so funny!

Natalie, my 9 yr. old still likes to play with her barbies and recently Bryson has discovered that he does too. ha. i think it is so cute. the other day; however, Bryson was carrying a naked barbie out to the car as we are getting ready to go to school. I didn't want to get him all riled up before school by telling him no so, i thought "he will put her down in the car and forget all about her before we even get to school". as we are getting into the van Bryson is heading to the back of the van and i explain to him that we are in a hurry and he needs to get in his seat so we can go bye bye. He defensively tells me that he has to buckle up girlfriend! as i try not to laugh so hard he buckles up girlfriend and gets in his seat. when we get to school he does not forget and yells at me as i am getting him out of the car that he has to unbuckle girlfriend. he fortunately doesn't throw a fit when i tell him he can see girlfriend when he gets out of school......boy, i didn't think i had to worry about girlfriends for a long time!
