They were down for the count the last few days. The house was quieted from the usual wrestling and arguments because the boys were sick. They are funny, the two of them always trying to out do eachother. Ethan, at 9 is the reader and writer and now Wii expert and Ezra imitates everything the older boys do. This causes conflict several times a day. Enoch has outgrown being upset about a little fellow who imitates everything, but not Ethan. He is still annoyed and rightly so. I saw in the video from the snowy day that Ezra takes advantage of his smallness and catches them in the stomach with a punch or two. We never had boys that liked boxing before, so he must be from my side of the family. I love to box. :)
The boys are growing well and I am extra glad that this time that the house is quiet it is because of the wellness of them and they are out at school.
Ethan's teacher is such a dear. I have never met anyone who listened quite like that before. She called to see how he was doing. She had also been down with some sort of flu recently. Every word that I said she listened and responded to. This was not just a courtesy call. I was so blessed to think that she thought about what I was saying. It made me think about what I was saying. So different from the way my children listen. Yea, right mom. :{ This is a new season for me. I am not the new mommy and my children really don't need the kind of attention that I am used to, like changing diapers and such. There is so much more laundry and bigger laundry. by the way. I'd better go to it now...
