The Fab Five

The boy is fifteen and calls himself "A Tank". He is a great kid, a wonderful big brother, but extremely lazy. He is lazy at home and at school(which he gets from his mother). He runs track and cross country and bowls on a league.

The oldest girl which I will call"Angry Girl" is eleven. She is strong and strong willed. unfortunately she is always angry and does not use these skills for good. She attends a center based school for Emotional Impairments.

The Shy One is nine years old. She has social impairments and seems very awkward. she has trouble blending and engaging in close relationships. She is very creative and enjoys art.

The Diva is seven. She is empathetic and very emotionally sensitive. She likes fancy things and is a true girly girl.

Fancy Pants is four. She is the baby of the family and she is very spoiled. She is really smart, caring and strong.

The Fab Five are my world. They give me joy and pain. As I watch these very different children grow and change I am amazed at how the world will be impacted by their personalities. I imagine that they will improve the way we live or think or treat people. But I also worry about The Angry Girl, because all of the professionals who deal with her tell me how she will always be angry, never have good relationships and hurt people emotionally and or physically. unfortunately I believe them because she does those things now. I feel very responsible for her impact on the world and pray that maybe we are wrong.

These are my babies and they will probably take up a lot of space on this blog because they are my world, they give me happiness, sadness, confusion and a range of other emotions.
