Step 1. Write an awesome story about your kids. Even if others dont think its awesome, if its awesome to you, thats all that matters.
Like this one.
Our boy is a great mate to our little girl, they are the best of friends. Asher takes such good care of Dallin and Dallin laughs at all of Ashers funny faces. I love it when I catch Asher sharing her sandwich with Dallin so that he doesnt miss out or when I see Dallins face light up when Asher comes home from spending the night at my mums. These kids of mine are honestly so awesome, I, like most parents out there, could brag about them til the cows come home.
Yesterday I took them to the public library to check out the puzzle and game range for Ash. We had been all over town looking for birthday presents for Dallin so it was nice to get out of the heat and into an air conditioned room that was cool and quiet.
On our way down to the childrens section I grabbed some books for me and set our things down by the cozy chair. I took Dallin out of his stroller and sat him on the floor by the building blocks. Asher helped herself to the little red wagon and pulled it over to Dallin to let him take them out one by one the same way he does his own toys from the toy box at home. At this moment, I realised I could just let them play together while I got comfy in the cozy chair. So get comfy I did.
As I sat there and watched my two play I thought about how blessed I am that I can take my little ones to the quietest place in town and not have to worry about them tearing the place up or disturbing the peace and quiet - does this not spell awesome?
I read for a good half an hour, checking over the top of my book every now and again. So far so good. I look up again only to find that Ash is over at the bird cage. Thats funny because she strongly dislikes birds. In fact she dislikes most animals. I think its because they can be unpredictable. Well thats what I think. She stood there and watched the birds though. I think it was because they had their heads tucked up under their wings. And they were locked up. "They're alseep" I whispered to her. I guess she likes animals - provided they're locked up and asleep. Aw.
Once she got tired of the sleeping, locked up birds, Ash picked out some stories and I read them to her. Dallin kept playing on the ground with an old computer keyboard, a bead coaster and a hardcovered book about farm animals. Before I knew it an hour had passed so after a bit of story reading and building wooden towers it was time to head off home for our afternoon naps.
Seeing me there with my well behaved baby and child you'd think the librarian would notice and tell me how adorable they are and how nicely they were playing, but nope. Not in this instance. Thankfully I have this blog so I can put it all out there in the universe that my kids are the best.
Step 2. Post it on the internet.
Step 3. Tell all your friends about it.
And that my friends is how you boast a little about your children.

Our youngest, Dodo (self named), ADORES his brothers - actually he's a tad biased towards his OLDEST brother, Bobo (again - youngest's name for him). Just today when we went to pick his brothers up from school - I decided it was time to leave and so headed for the gate. I yelled a hasty "Bye" to Bobo and Dohnty (Dodo's name for him), and Dodo began to whimper. I calmed him down by pointing out that Dohnty was already waiting for us patiently at the gate. HOWEVER as we walked out the gate, calling our goodbyes to his oldest brother, Dodo's true favourite was ultimately revealed as he began to cry, loudly and call out "Bobo! Bobo!" in a teary panicked voice. My wee guy!
so adorable.
