Mothering the spoiled.

I am in no way a professional photographer nor do I know anything about cameras except to just focus, point and shoot. My daughter actually took this photo of herself with Noah while they were at the park. Seeing her taking pictures of her and Noah brings a smile to my face. As a mother you always want to see your children getting along and never arguing with one another. When I see these two together they truly have a unique bond. Each of the the girls have a special bond with Noah and they all carry themselves differently around him. Sierra knows that her time is limited so she is taking advantage of his precious toddler years before she is off to college. Most days after school she wants to find the time to take him out to play. On the weekends she wants to venture out to parks or anything recreational to show Noah that part of being a kid. She's excited that he's beginning to speak in clearer sentences so that they can have a meaningful conversation. She's a bit of a storyteller as well as a singer and loves singing to him. There are nights where she will take him to her room after we have family prayer and he will fall asleep on her bed while she is gently tickling his feet. She and Lexie have found a common ground on who takes Noah for the night. They would both fight for him in a playful way. I believe Noah senses the love that he receives from all of his sisters even though Chelsea can be the only one that adds a little bit of roughness to the mix. This boy is definitely spoiled, and he knows it. The best thing about his spoiledness is the way he expresses his gratitude for it with a lot of tank youse. That especially makes me extremely grateful to be a mother to four children.
