We love life with Leo! The kid is intense and never in a million years did we imagine his funny and charming full size personality would be as rich as it is!
He certainly comes up with things that the previous 4 never thought of doing. Like sitting on the corner of the couch.
He finds adventures easily around all of our work!
He absolutely adores his sisters, especially Victoria. He can always be found around her trying to do antics for her and make her smile. And really, the adoration is mutual.
He was the hardest to wean. I must admit to being a little nervous during the pregnancy as to how he would take Victoria's arrival. Turns out I had no reason to be. Although it has been hard for him to share me at times, he loves her dearly. He also has no hesitation to let me know when he thinks I should put the baby down and pick him up instead! Curiously enough, he is the only one of the children to do this.
His fascination with superheroes is a very serious thing (for him) and entertaining (for us). They are all "akah", but he knows which specific akah he is talking about and God forbid we give him the wrong mask or outfit!
And he runs through the house, making flying noises, and we all love him for it!
He is also the only one of my children to recognize when he is tired and asks to be put down for a nap or bed.
He keeps me on my toes, for sure. I can't leave him alone in a room for too long before he gets into something. He's really not as mischievous as he is independent and thinks himself capable of anything any other fully abled adult can do! Therefore, there is always purpose behind his mischief. Where Giselle would get into the bucket of oats for the fun of it, he has it in his mind that he is making himself oatmeal. He reaches for the knife drawer because he wants to cut himself a slice of bread, naturally! He couldn't be more puzzled when I stop him from doing such things! He keeps us busy and amused!
