He loves youtube. He finds his favorite shows on Youtube and pauses them and then prints off the picture which he then draws himself and his family into the picture. Or he uses his well developed imagination and creates a whole story around that picture.
He is a happy go lucky kid most of the time and enjoys playing with his brother and sister.

He went home on Sunday and then on Tues the twins Daymon and Devon(8) and their little brother Colton (19 mos) came to stay for 3 days. Then I met my DD in Mt. Pleasant and picked up Rachel (10). They stayed until Thurs.
They are busy kids! Devon is the dark haired twin and he is really good at helping with Colton. He changes diapers and is constantly aware of what Colton is doing. He is a really good big brother. Daymon likes to play with Colton and Rachel enjoys watching over Colton. They play really well together.
I love to listen to their play and love the giggles and laughing that goes on.
At bedtime we always have a story and song time before bed. Colton likes to hum along. Devon's favorite is a silly little thing I made up a long time ago.
It goes -- Hat hat I have a hat
I have a hat on.........
Colton's big toe(each person puts a silly thing here when it is their turn)
Then each kid takes a turn and we go around a couple or three times. Devon thinks this is the funniest thing to do. Rachel loves a variety of songs. I have a couple of songs we sing that are only about 8 bars and then each time we sing it we get faster and faster and see if they can keep up with me. It is something I did with my daughter when she was growing up. The kids love doing it. Daymon loves to start a story that then is passed to the other two until the story has gone around a couple of times.
The end of our story/song time is always Silent Night. The kids snuggle down and I sing Silent Night as a lullabye for awhile til they are all settled for the night. I love it as much as the kids do.
So this last week has been a busy busy time. I will get back to normal routine once school starts here soon. Then I have Zach for 2 weekends a month with Joey (13) Zach's brother) coming with him one weekend. I have the twins Rachel and Colton one weekend. My grandson Jake comes for a weekend when he wants to come. He just turned 14.
I enjoy them all! We are blessed with a large family and they all live within a half hour of us with the exception of our oldest granddaughter and her family who are an hour away.
Wishing you all lots of sunshine and laughter! Rhonda
