Some things I have noticed about these four.......
Laurel
She looks like her daddy. Her eyes are his exact shape, only hers are blue and her daddy's are hazel.
Her personality is more like mine. She will say whatever comes to her little mind, which sometimes leads to embarrassment. Speaking of embarrassment, she told me a story recently that I don't want to forget:
I picked her and Savannah up from school. Savannah started telling me about this boy in carpool line who kept saying something to Savannah about her having diarrhea, who knows what all that meant. Anyway, Laurel sees that her little sister is being picked on so she decides to tell this little boy a funny story. She says, "you know when I was in the first grade, I went up to all of my friends and said, "have ya'll read Diarrhea of the Wimpy Kid?" She said they all started laughing and she said, "what? I just said Diarrhea of the Wimpy Kid!" Then they told her it was Diary of the Wimpy Kid.
Oh my goodness, I was laughing so hard because I could see myself doing the same thing at her age.
She is our comic relief around here.
Savannah
She looks like me. She is our only child who has green eyes. I was the only one in my family with green eyes. But her personality is more like Seth's. She has his calm, gentle personality. She will say things like, "well, mom you don't have to yell!" "We are just little children." Statements that stop me in my tracks and make me think that she should probably be the mom and I should be the child. She lets me know when she needs more attention. She will say, "I'm not getting enough love." I think it is so great she can express herself like this.
Landon
He looks like Savannah from the nose up, but as soon as he smiles he is all Seth. He has the same little dimples as his dad. He is full force, wide open all day long! He has no fear. He is such a charmer. He pulls Laurel and Savannah's hair. He hits. He is happiest when he is outside. He loves to explore. He hates taking naps. I hear he acts just like his dad did at this age.
Sawyer He looks just like Seth to me. His eyes especially. He has the chubbiest cheeks and we can see the same dimple that his daddy his when he smiles. So far he has been the best baby. He looks deep into my eyes, like he's flirting with me or thinking about something really hard. He smiles all the time and just melts my heart. |
