Little Angels

I don't think I've mentioned that the name of Kellan's t-ball team is the "Angels". When his coach told me that, I couldn't help but think "This is probably the only time in his entire life that I will be able to refer to him as an "angel". While all three of our kiddos definitely look angelic (I can say that because I'm their mom!), they most certainly don't always act it. For example, Megan and Kellan have a new saying. Every time one of them....um...toots, they exclaim "Oh! I just did the ugly American thing!" I have no idea where they got this, but it sounds horrible! The thing is, it's also a little bit funny.

Lately, Megan and Kellan seem to have a lot of up and downs in their relationship. One minute they play like the best of friends and the next they are beating the heck out of each other. Then, before we can even figure out who should be in trouble, they are back to playing happily. Megan can be a tich (is tich even a word?) bossy and Kellan definitely does not like being told what to do. Kellan has a very quick temper while Megan is a peacekeeper. However, they both have amazing imaginations and are generally very happy children. Interesting combination.

And Mr. Jacksen? Well, he is a fairly compliant kiddo who prefers to do his own thing. He likes playing with Megan and Kellan, but he mostly enjoys playing with little cars and trucks and riding his tricycle by himself. Really, his most favorite playmate in the world is his daddy.

Isn't it funny that these three children who are growing up in the same house with the same parents and the same rules can be so different?! Sure makes life interesting!
