I have figured out the 5 years between the 2 oldest is a good age difference, at least if the boy is older, so I think I lucked out. Kate and Josh get along for the most part. Very little fights between them. Kate and Heston, however are another story. The other day Kate asked me if I could just "lose" Heston. 'No' I replied...in response I get dramatic tears! Another case in point...Last night Josh and Kate spent the night with Grandsherry and Granddad. Heston woke up this morning and only asked for Josh...so at least the feeling is mutual between them. In the past few days I have seen Heston chasing Kate with a stick, Heston pulling her hair and Kate and Heston fighting over a bike. I have figured out the mention of the "wooden spoon" stops everyone in their tracks. A very useful tool, I now don't leave home without. Last night Heston was not obeying while at church, I grabbed by handy wooden spoon, he quickly took it away from me and started spanking himself on the bottom, to which the adults around responded with continuous laughter. Not what I was looking for in a discipline moment...but I have to admit I laughed too.
This weekend Steph and Jeremy are coming. They should be here tonight, so I promise to post pictures next week...at all costs! Til then, pray, pray hard for the kiddos!! or maybe more prayers should be said for me!-Cheers!
