Memoir Notes

05 February 2008

I really enjoy having six kids. At times it seems like a lot - too much even - but usually it feels just right. Each of them is so unique and, well, awesome in their own way.

Here's a bit about Emily and Bradley:

Emily loves to clean. I asked her if she would help me clean the master bathroom, and she was quite excited, saying, "I love doing that!" She loves school and learning and has really gotten into reading, but she has trouble with her homework. Sitting down and working on something by herself is a struggle. She's more of a social person.

Bradley, on the other hand, as long as it is within his five-year-old attention span, can sit down and knock out his homework. He has more trouble paying attention in class, though. He has trouble not throwing/stepping on/breaking things, but he is the first to give up something he wants if someone else wants it, and he is the one to get up and get something for someone who wants something. He's great at sharing and serving.
