Chase will be 4 in June. He's all boy, loving tractors, dirt & being outside but is definetly my most sensitive one. He still gets messy when he eats, has to have milk right after lunch, & gives me the funniest face expressions. Because of scheduling, we spend the most time together alone, so he's also caught the heart of Terry & my parents.
Lily is 3 1/2. She's a feisty little girl & neither of the other two will mess with her because they know the consequences. She's a bright child who's great at puzzles & even though the smallest, she's my biggest eater. She plays the guitar & makes up songs as she plays, which always makes me smile.
Carys is 2. Having her since she was 6 months old has really made us bond. Her tight little hugs & big eyes always make me melt inside. She loves music & dancing, tea parties & books. Spending time with the two older children has greatly sped her development, making her quite the smartie.
My time with the two older ones is coming to an end. I only have Lily for another 5 weeks & Chase just through the summer. My last day with them is going to be extremely hard on me & on them. They are best friends.
I love them & know they love me. We share something special.. spending 9 hours a day, 5 days a week for 21 months all together.
I will never forget them & hope they will remember me.
Jen, They are so lucky to have you and at that age they will never forget you! I can't imagine (well, I guess I can, kind of) how much your wonderful care has meant to their parents. You do incredibly important work!
