Nicholas

Nicholas is my sweet darling 3 1/2 year old baby boy!!
He also was a premie, born @ 34weeks but weighing in at a wopping 6 pounds
and 20 inches.

He has boundless energy. Somewhat on the verge of hyperactivity in my opinion.
LOL. He is very manual, is very interested in anything that has to do with working
his hands, whether it is puzzles, cars, building blocks or even coloring despite his energy.

Never would I have thought he could sit still long enough. Nicholas went threw the
difficult ages of 2 and 3, being very defiant and not listening. Now as he is fast approaching
4, it is a lot more smooth sailing. Nicholas is my baby, that probably needs the most attention
and reassurance. Is it because he is a middle child? Who knows??

Nicholas is going to be very good athletically, I can already tell. He was playing hockey
this winter and he was great at it. He even was able to dress himself without any help,
while all the older kids 4, 5 and 6 year olds were rolling on the floor crying/fighting with there parents. He wants to play football. His favorite color is blue and he love BATMAN, and The Little Mermaid.

Cassandra

Cassandra is my little princess. When I mean little, I mean little.
She is 5 years old, and still wears size 3. Everyone in her kindergarten
class, towers over her. She was my first born, premie. Born at 33 weeks
gestation, and weighing 4 pounds, and was 17 inches long.

A little about her. She is a mini me. Looks, character and all.
She is very smart, older intelectually beyond her years. She
is kind, thoughtful, considerate and has a good nature about
her. She thinks you should be nice to everyone, but she will
not let herself be walked over.

She is also a budding little gymnast. Her favorite color is pink.
She likes all things, pretty, sparly and EXPENSIVE..(Just like
mommy). Daddy is going to have fun when she is older!!

Kids Say The Darndest Things

So I decided to start writing down, all the HILARIOUS things, my children say to me, or that I over hear them saying.

Just this morning, I was having a conversation with Cassandra (5 years old) and I was explaining to her, that as her mommy I will always be there to protect her. That she would really understand when she has her own babies, what I am talking about.

Then she says "Mommy, you don't have to protect me, I still live with you."

Who would of guessed?

If you would of asked me 3 years ago where I saw my life, I can tell you it is not where it is today. Never would I have imagined that I was having baby number 3 on the way. It was not part of my plan. Then again my plan has been in motion for like 8 years and I have accomplished none of it. I am a procrastinator. I have good intentions, ideas and plans, but I never seem to follow through. How sad.
I love my kids and would not change anything, well maybe I would change a couple of things, but in all even when the days are bad, the nights are sleepless and the days are filled with discipline, crying and negotiating
