Aubreeisms....

What do you get when you have a 2 year old that listens to everything you say and knows how to talk?
"I can't, I'm too busy"
"I'm too little to do that"
"I will do that later"

I am in big trouble with this girl!!

She is a very opinoniated girl, in which everything needs to be pretty. She is a princess. And you can only watch Mickey Mouse.

She is very good at singing along with songs she likes and saying all the words to shows and movies.

Gage is 7!!

I can't believe that my baby boy is 7 years old!! He is amazing in every way. So smart, energetic, and happy! He is really into Legos and has been building so many, and so fast!! He loves to build things and figure out how they work. His favorite food is corn dogs--which he eats about 2 a day, pizza, and candy! He is eager to start 2nd grade in a few weeks and just loves making new friends everywhere he goes. His favorite color is green and gold, he loves playing Minecraft on his iPad, watching the Lego movie, and riding his new bike!!

Who is this kid??

About a month ago, we decided to put Gage on medication for ADHD. It was a hard decision, and one that we mulled over all school year. Thankfully, he has a patient, but honest teacher who said he was having a hard time staying focused on his work, sitting still, and was always making noises. Plus, he wasn't doing as well as he could on his school work...he was doing well, but not to his full potential. So, we took him to the dr and decided to at least try it for a few months and see what happens.
Well, it was one of the best decisions we ever made! He is still silly Gage, but is able to really focus and stay focused on his work. It's like the wheels in his head have slowed down to actually go somewhere, rather than spin so fast it was driving him everywhere for just bits at a time. He is able to read more clearly, understand more of what he has read, write more clearly, sit and listen, and speak more clearly. He plays soccer better and is now into Legos and doing so many projects on his own! He's wanting to learn more rather than just lay around and play video games. He still plays his iPad constantly, but not as long and he's not asking to play video games every day. It's amazing!!

He loves his little sister, but when he's focused on his Lego building, he really just wants to be left alone and not have her bothering him.
My favorite statement from this boy when Aubree kept asking him to play with him outside while he was building a Lego thing:
"Why is she always wanting me to play with her?! Can't she see that I'm busy? I have so much to do that I don't have time to play. I need to work on this Lego thing until I'm done with it, so that means I need to work on it every day I get home from school and church."

LOVE THIS BOY OF MINE!
