مشكلجي (Mish-kel-gi)

This word in Arabic means "naughty one" or someone who is always into things. That is SO Mason right now. He is now 18 months and super curious and into everything. Super cute, but super mishkelgi. He is like a magnet to the bathroom and anytime anyone leaves the bathroom door open, you can be he will be in there playing in whatever he can get his hands on.

Then there is Judah, who we often call "feisty". He has the cutest little personality and is super sweet, but every once and awhile this feisty little attitude comes out and he will protest about something being done or hit his brother while nobody is looking. He knows how to give us the sad little puppy dog eyes to try and get out of something. He is loving school and his teacher says he is such a good boy and listens and learns things in Arabic and English. One day he came home concerned and told us that the teacher said she wanted to eat him up. We had to explain that was just because she thought he was so cute.

Then there is Caleb, our born leader. His most recent comment to me the other day when I was trying to explain to him that everyone in the world did something a certain way, he came back with "Except ME!" He definitely knows what he wants and is very persistent in getting his way. We call him at times the Negotiator. Often he is able to talk Judah into trading something with him, for whatever reason. He is very good with little ones, and loves Mason as long as Mason is not messing up whatever he is playing with. He is super excited about having a new sister come along and often when we are with our friends he wants to hold their baby girls. It is very cute!

We are very blessed with 3 cute boys and excited about a baby girl on the way. Some friends have started giving me some of their little girl clothes, so I am starting to get infusions of pink into this house. SO cute!
