I have been working on staying home as much as possible lately. I'm not sure what is causing the need to be with my boys, but I have found I am the happiest making my boys happy.
Last week I took all 3 boys to the zoo by myself. Most would think I'm crazy to do this after reading this blog or meeting my children. They are full of energy and quite frankly, only hear what they want. Mark's excuse is he does have a small hearing problem.
While looking at the animals, riding the tram, visiting the petting zoo and having lunch I realized how much they reflect my husband and I.
Luke is the current me. He has strong emotions and he's not afraid to show them. Luke can go from crying to laughing to throwing a fit within a minute. I can also do that. Luke knows how to influence people to get his way. Apparently, I know how to do this as well.
Daniel is me in Kindergarten. I was very shy. I always listened and did as I was told in school. I also didn't like to be in front of the crowd, yet. Daniel is very quiet and hates to do things in front of a crowd. During t-ball he refused to do anything with the coach because people were watching him.
Mark is my performing self. He loves to make people laugh. He loves attention. He's only 2 and he's not afraid of anything when it comes to performing. He's hilarious. I used to perform and still do a little in churches and for operas. When you get in front of a large audience you either pretend there's no one there or you savor the feeling of all eyes on you. Mark and I savor the feeling.
It makes me curious about what traits my husband sees the boys have of himself.
