Brayden: He's a by-the-rules, by-the-book kid. He likes to follow rules and dislikes when other people don't. He loves to learn. He is very insightful. He's a social bug - give him 5 minutes in a new environment and he's made some new friend (you think I'm kidding? he's made friends camping and at an amusement park just in the past month!) He'd sit and watch TV all day if we'd let him, but he actually really enjoys physical activity too. He enjoys soccer and just recently he suggested that he and Daddy should work out every night together.
Logan: He's very compassionate, very caring and very tender-hearted, especially for animals! Our fish had babies a few weeks ago (oh joy, right?). While I was hoping they'd get eaten by the bigger fish, they did not. While I was hoping Chris would come home and see them and flush them down the toilet, he did not. When Chris suggested giving them to a teacher friend of his who has some really big fish (wink, wink), Logan got very upset and advocated hard for those little baby fish. Logan has a real love for animals, especially small dogs and sea animals. He's also a pleaser. He really wants to make people happy and it really upsets him if he doesn't. He loves photography and drawing and dancing and singing.
Preston: He's our little adventurous daredevil. He'll try anything his brothers do, and some things they don't. He won't be stopped just because he's smaller. My guess is our first injury-related ER visit will be for him. He's a little comedian and entertainer, full of one-liners. Sometimes Chris and I just lay in bed at night and share things Preston said that day with each other, totally cracking up. He loves games. He plays a mean game of Trouble (Chris nor I have ever beaten him) and he's very competitve on Mario Kart Wii. He's rough and playful, but still very cuddly. He's usually the "bad guy" when all the brothers are playing together, by choice usually!
I'm so glad that God gave us personalities. How boring would the world be if we were all the same? I know our family wouldn't be the same!
People always tell me that about my kids too, but I don't see it! Your boys are so cute, they look similar but I don't think they look identical! It is so fun when they all have different personalities!
