I haven't done a post like this in a while, so it seemed like a good time to document how the kids are growing and changing. Emphasis on GROWING!
Eden Lily Grimes
Height: VERY close to Mom! I think she's about 4'7"
Weight: 70 ish lbs.
Favorite Food: She LOVES ham sandwiches, lasagna, salad, cucumbers, cauliflower and rice with soy sauce. Oh yes, and she likes to make her own Ramen noodles!
Least favorite food: Anything casserole-y or too much of "one flavor" just like her father.
Favorite activity: She likes to rollerblade around after school and also she joined her school's running club recently and had logged several miles already! She also is an avid reader, devouring 2-3 "chapter" books a week (or more) and if you can believe it, I have said to her, "Eden you need to quit reading for a while and do something else." That's weird to say.
Least favorite activity: Going to bed. She likes to drag it out and try to snuggle us, butter us up, etc. so she doesn't have to go to sleep!
Eden is doing great in 3rd grade. She has a mixed class of 3rd and 4th graders, and then they separate into groups for math and reading according to their level. I think her teacher is great. We've been blessed again by another teacher that appreciates and accepts Eden's eccentricities and creativity and sees it as a positive thing in her class! Phew! It's stressful to wonder how someone (or if someone) will accept your child and see them for who they really are. Praise God for Mrs. C.!
Elly Lyn
Height: Honestly, I have no idea, all I know is that she is wearing size 7/8 clothes with ease and that she has become like a fawn who is all legs. She has grown a lot this summer and is getting twiggier too. She is differently shaped than Eden but equally as adorable.
Weight: 65? Maybe less...I can't remember. All I know is that my kids are definitely corn-fed Iowa kids! ;)
Favorite Food: SOUR CREAM. On anything. Baked potatoes, tacos, soup, etc. She loves it. She also loves spaghetti and her bestest friend ever, APPLES. Still eating tons of apples a week. I love this season because apples are plentiful and delicious! She also loves ice water!
Least Favorite Food: She's not a big meat fan. She will eat it, but not with gusto. Also, she doesn't like anything unfamiliar. Unlike her sister who will eat things just to say she's eaten them.
Favorite Activity: Elly still loves memorizing facts about animals and will perk right up when anyone starts talking about animals. She also loves singing and music in general. She LOVES kindergarten, especially art and music time and swinging on the swings at recess. I drive by her school on my way to errands and sometimes see her swinging! It's adorable.
Least Favorite Activity: Stopping playing to go to the bathroom. Enough said.
Esias Tesfaye
Height: Again, I am terrible. We have a mark on the wall but i have no idea what it is! I think he's close to 4'.
Weight: Now I do know this, since I have to keep track of it~ 34lbs. Which is great, since before this year he was at 29 lbs for a long time. The Pediasure really helps him pack on the pounds (in a good way).
Favorite Food: Speaking of Pediasure, it is his "precious" for sure. He is crazy about this stuff. He will ask for some by pointing at where we keep it and then he has a special sign (that he made up) that means he "wants the whole thing" not just a measly portion of it! It is cute. Needless to say, he usually get the "whole thing"!
Least favorite food: He has started to get really picky about vegetables in his food like mushrooms or peppers, etc. It's sad. He used to eat anything put in front of him! But I am not sad that he has preferences, because that is a sign that he is secure with food!
Favorite Activity: Riding on the back of daddy's bike! Talk about a big smile on his face.
Least favorite activity: Potty training. See previous post! We have gotten nowhere!!!
