Good, the bad and the ugly!

Well, well, well, look who decided to blog a bit today. I took a step back for awhile but as I cozy up in my bed with my kids I think this is a perfect time to blog without snoozing back to sleep. Christmas has arrived at our house and we have a new friend. Our elf on the shelf Flynn. Follow me on instagram @kimmirae98 to see what trouble Flynn gets in.

Today I want to blog about my kids. The good, the bad, the ugly!

Benjamin

Good: Great reader, great eater, great corrector when you say something incorrect be ready for Mr. Correction to catch you. Great fact learner of History. Great snuggle buddy, he has a loving heart to help people. Easy to make friends, this homeschooled kid has no socialization problems what so ever! Awesome help sometimes even with his brothers. Doesn't like to be hurt or see other hurt. Mom's night owl buddy, but Dad's hard worker buddy. Caring and loving and a heart of gold. Pure joy from this kid!

Bad: Shoves toys or clothes is places they don't belong. He pouts really good like a two year old. He stays up at night ready until he falls asleep which means he sleeps on the floor near the night light not his bed. Lies up the wazoo just to get us off his back. Example, "Did you pick up your room? " "Yes" ......thinking we won't check and than when we do he says "Okay I lied" GRRRRRR!

Ugly: Attitude just like mom had when she was that age. It sure does catch up with you. We are working on it though :) Also ugly when he forgets to take a shower or remind mom to cut his nails...gross more like it.

Improvement: Working together as a family, attitude and learning to tie his own shoes!


Caleb

Good: Great sleeper, Great eater, Loves the outdoors and doesn't mind playing solo while his other two brothers play together or fight together. Great cuddle buddy and great smile although you can hardly catch him in a picture smiling.

Bad: He is sneaky, He doesn't have a problem walking away and getting lost, he doesn't like to share, he cries and doesn't calm down very fast because he gets so frustrated. He is most likely to get in trouble first.

Ugly: His stubbornness, his pump on his head from heading the wall while rocking himself to sleep. (Pillows everywhere have been placed on his bed fyi) and wakes ups grumpy 75% of the time.

Improvements: Thumb sucking, sneaky side and using words more


Levi

Good: Such a loving brother, looks up to Ben, protects his brothers, joyful giggle, great artist and learner. He tries his best to be independent and is a team player. Wakes ups in an excellent mood.

Bad: Sharing and knowing that he can't do everything Big brother does. Patience too.


Ugly: Picking his nose and eating whatever comes out of it, sticky face and sticky hands.


Improvements: cleanliness, sharing and letting mom and dad hug more :)


So here is some of the good, the bad and the ugly for my kids!

Toodles for now!
