Favorites

Their minds are continually growing, developing, and changing.  One day they love bread, the next day it is the most revolting thing ever to be placed in front of them.  They watch, and read the same things over and over and over again, enjoying it as it if was their first time.  Security is found in their favorite object, holding on, grasping it for comfort at every moment possible.  Most of the time that object stays the same, but on surprising time it changes and as if it was always their favorite they latch on.  I want to record these favorites.  When we look back they can remember what they were like on September 1, 2011.  They can laugh at the silliness of their answers that I write verbatim.  They can cherish these memories as I am.

Zane Michael

He’s a bit too young for this, obviously, but I’ll just list his favorites.  And to note, this past week Zane’s two top teeth broke through.  He has a total of four teeth and I feel everyone of them!

Favorite Food:  Breast Milk, breast milk, and more breast milk

Favorite Toy:  He seems drawn to trucks and cars and loves to play with whatever the other children are playing with, naturally.

Favorite Friend:  His siblings.  Many times during the day he is drawn to a particular sibling.  Noelle is very gentle and kind with him.  Max roughhouses and shares his trucks.  Violette loves to give kisses and share babies with Zane.  It has been fun watching the interactions develop with the youngest.

Favorite Animal:  Zeus, he loves climbing all over him

Favorite Activity:  Pulling himself up on everything and promptly displaying a proud smile along with rolling a ball on the ground to his brother/sisters

As we gearing up for kindergarten (this is a hard one for me as I have tried writing about it and the mostly end up walking away in tears) and the end of summer, so it’s nice to have some favorites down.  In a few months I’ll ask the same questions again and see how the answers have changed. The answers will show their growth, and it will be a fun experiment for me.
