Introducing my 4 Monkeys!

I would like to introduce to you my 4 MONKEYS!

First, we have Josh!  He is 13yrs old and likes the guitar, drums, video games and of course TEXTING!  I think he is awesome at Rockband and I LOVE to hear him sing while he's playing it with his friends.  Josh is a very bright boy who started reading at the age of 4, read Harry Potter books in first grade but didn't tie his shoes until 3rd or 4th grade. ;)

Here we have Joey!  He is 7 yrs old... loves to play video games especially with Josh, riding his bike, legos and math.  Joey is one goofy guy.  You can catch him either making a silly face or saying/doing something that leaves you asking  Did he just say/do that?  Joey was diagnosed with ADHD about a year ago.  He has been on several different medications to try to help his symptoms.  We have recently decided to stop medicating him due to all of the side effects he would have from these meds.  More on that in another post... 

Next we have Julia...Miss Julia!  She is 4 yrs old and loves teddy bears, drawing, painting, coloring, playing board games and doing puzzles.  You can also find Julia running around with Joey outside, listening to Green Day with Josh(she can name all the band members!) or hanging out with her Daddy.  Julia is currently attending Preschool, can write her first and last name and loves to "read"!  She is a shy little girl but is definatly strong willed!

Last, but definatly not least we have Jillian aka "Jillibean" or "Jilli"!  Jilli will be 1 yr old on Christmas Eve!  She loves her binky, baba, little stuffed toy monkey Daddy got her and her MAMA of course!  You can find

Jillibean trying to "share" Joey and Julia's toys with them, squating then getting to a standing position in the middle of the floor(but won't walk yet), eating vanilla wafers and bananas and getting into Mommy's lid drawer.  Jilli is currently cutting 4 teeth at one time to make a grand total of 6 teeth!

So, there you have it...my 4 MONKEYS!
