I asked the kids questions

This morning I scooped up each kid and spent some snuggle time with each of them. I asked each of them a series of questions
What is your favorite thing about yourself and your least favorite thing about yourself. I then asked them the same questions about each of their siblings, Willy and I.

I was so humbled by each of their answers, but I was so surprised at the similarity of each of their answers

Lisa is kind, considerate, helpful and always willing to share or give things up for other people
She is also bossy and impulsive

Willy Jr is quiet and reserved and fair
He also will lie to keep from getting in trouble

Tilly is everyone's favorite to play with one on one. Each of her siblings said playing with just her is the funnest thing ever. Tilly said she liked how smart she is.
We all agree that she could use some work on her self control.

Eitan everyone (including himself) said their favorite thing about him was how crazy he was.
Least favorite thing was his lack of personal boundaries (he hits people)

Sawyer did not participate in this game. He doesn't say but just a few words. But we played for him.
Everyone loves Sawyer dancing and trying to communicate with us.
No one likes when he cries he also bites. No one likes that either.

Daddy works so hard so we can have food and a house, but no one likes it when he yells.

Mommy (I'm not making this up ya'll) is awesome and the best mommy ever. I yell, but each kid in their own way said they understood why I get frustrated.

Then, this is where I truly became humbled, I asked what their favorite and least favorite thing we have ever done as a family.
I kid you not, all 4 of them told me their favorite thing we have done is hang out. I asked them specifically about going to the beach, aquarium etc and every one of them said "that stuff is fun, but my favorite thing is to just hang out together".

Least favorite thing "being sent to our rooms to be alone". Except for Willy Jr who said reading "The Never Ending Story" was his least favorite thing, because "mom, it's SOooOOOOooo hard to understand".

How humbling to be reminded about what really matters, spending time together.
