Three little pumpkins standing in a row...
How awesome are those kids? Each is different and unique and that continues to blow my mind.
June is sensitive, sweet and serious. He is a smart cookies too. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up an engineer bc he's always been taken with puzzles, blocks and learning. He can have a hard shell but it's only be that kid really feels. He will share without question and wants to be a part of the bigger picture. He's one big teddy bear who just wants to be loved.
Josh is my free spirit. He's not as book smart and analyzing as #1, but he just goes and he's going to live life and soak in every ounce of it. Josh experiences things and seems to be more perceptive of what you are feeling or how you are doing. He has a gentleness to him too (he's not a tantrum thrower and is a flexible kid). Josh wants to live and be and absorb what he can.
Elizabeth is a saucy, fun, go-getter who loves her family. Her little personality is still emerging but she's smiley and fierce and funny and cute. Elizabeth loves routine and predictability. Elizabeth is simply thriving right now is a pleasure to have. She's strong willed and determined but she needs your acceptance and presence and love.
I feel like I can nail down June's personality with a few words and cover him completely but the other two are still working out themselves. I feel like I don't totally know their complete personality and selves but I'm loving to see the bits and pieces emerge over time.
These three drive me batty and things get crazy and my house gets trashed and it can be down right nuts at times, but what blessings they all are. I love seeing the 3 interact. Josh and June are still making their way to getting along and Elizabeth is just discovering life outside of baby-hood. It's amazing to watch them grow.
I always wondered "why" did we get the gaps that we did. And while I still don't know why, I can't picture like without all 3 of them. Life with just June and Josh would be frustrating. Life with just June and Eliz would be boring and tedious since June is a people-person and life with just Josh and Eliz... I don't know. I think with all Josh's allergy issues, I would baby him and the dynamic would just be off. June is a rock for Josh. All 3 are meant to be here, in the order and gap that we've been given. It wasn't my plan, but it's way better than I ever could have planned. God is good.
(I'm going to try to remember that when I'm flustered in the daily grind of tomorrow) ;)
