Its Been a While

To all moms out there with teenagers... I have good news. God still loves you. LOL. This is not the end. I would like to suggest a book that has completely turned my little girl around, "Understanding Every Young Girls Battle". They have one for men and women and teen boys. I do not know who the author is now, but they have several crowns waiting for them in heaven. I am also working with a book called "Respectful Kids" by Dr. Rodd Cartmell. It explains how to bring the best out in your kids. They are good christian books that are OHHHH so helpful.

I am writing this part as more of a marker in time than anything. Tiffany, who is not yet 13, is now taller than me. Not by much though. I can still take her down. HEHE. She is 5'7". Ajay, he will be 9 in May, is now right at 4'6". Only a foot to go to be around my height. Robert is only 5" shy of his brothers height. It is scary because he is only 6 yrs old. The boys are skinny. I can't keep them fed. They eat all day long and gain absolutely NO weight. It is sad when a single little boy can eat as much as you and your hubby. For breakfast alone they will eat 2 bowls of cereal, toast, an apple, an orange, sometimes and egg and still be hungry. I have to stock all the houses we visit because my kids eat all the time. They clean out friend and family frigerators.

Ajay lost another tooth. Robert hasn't lost any yet. I am expecting that by Christmas we will be able to teach him the "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth" song. HEHE. Can't wait myself. God is good! So far I have gotten to teach the others that song because they lost their teeth by Christmas. Tiff tried to whistle through it and Ajay just slapped his forehead and said " Mom... thats not very funny you know." I thought it was. He is such a stick in the mud anyway. HEHE. Until he turns your words around and says "Oh, Burn!". He is a hoot at times. Robert is my little sister incarnate, with a loving heart. They were sitting next to each other the other night. He could be her child. They look so much alike. Then he squinted his eyes and looked at her. She did the same back and told him " I don't know what your about to do, but its not good." About that time he gets up to fix her hair. NOT! He roughs it up and messes it into her face. Then decided to get some weeds and grass and rub in there. Well, that started a cat and mouse game.
