Three Things About my Children

Carrie tagged me for the Three Things meme. This was a fun meme, let me know if you decide to do it.

Three Things about John:
-He is the hardest working kid you will ever meet. Seriously, people tell me all the time how they can't get over what a hard worker he is. He will do any job, weed wacking, mowing the lawn, raking, sweeping, building a house, taking down trees, putting in new doors or windows. I mean anything. He's quite unbelievable.
-He is starting to develop this really terrific sense of humor. He "gets" so many of my bad jokes and has begun making up his own. He is able to laugh at himself, too, which is pretty rare in a lot of kids.
-He has an amazing memory.

Three Things about Jeremy:
-He is the most tenacious child I know. If he thinks that he is not good at something, he will do it over and over until he has perfected whatever feat it was that he was trying to accomplish. He will jump his skateboard 5o times until he lands it perfectly. He will sound out a new word and then repeat it to perfection. He is undaunted in his pursuit of amazing skimboarding. He never gives up.
-He is an amazing artist. He draws on anything that he can find, which I don't always appreciate, especially when it's my leather truck interior, but I appreciate his love for art. He has said that he wants to design skimboards and skateboards when he grows up.
-He has an uncanny sense of rhythm and music. He can hear a few beats from a song and play it on his guitar like nobody's business.

Three Things about Joe:
-He is funny. I mean, he is funny! He cracks us up with his sweet little voice and his big boy opinions and ideas. He's two going to 30.
-He is a lover. He will frequently walk up to me, step right on my bare toes and say, "I wanna pick you up, mommy." I pick him up and he will rub my back or touch me face or play with my hair. He says, "I wuv you, mommy" unprompted. I could cry right now thinking of it.
-He is smart. I know every parent says that their children are smart, but he is really smart. His reasoning skills and vocabulary will often force me to look at him and say, "You didn't just say that."

What a great meme. I love bragging aboout my children, I need to do that more.

Thanks, Carrie!

Look to the finish!
