Builder Boys

My Builder Boys

Giant. Born in Sept 2006, this child is tall and has a huge appetite for knowledge of all sorts. His favourite things to do are invent and build. Lego creations change from one minute to the next. This child seems to know my heart, and shares a similar interest in self-sufficiency and working alongside another person. Nicknamed Giant due to his very large size (currently a 6 year old in an 8 year old's body).

 Ettin. Born Oct, 2008. He is a rule follower. Train tracks are built with exactness. Freedom in the kitchen means following the recipe to the ounce. Robots are built to program them. He is my baby lover, showering the little ones with kisses. I love his smiley half-moon eyes. Nicknamed Ettin after a type of critter on a game I used to play. These critters stashed away little bits of equipment in odd and unusual places---typical of this child's behaviour as a toddler.

Galoot. Oh my. Born July 2010. I adore this hilarious kid. He loves the limelight, loves to speak loud, and loves to make people laugh. He also loves his "guys" (his brothers) and calls me a Princess when I wear a skirt. There is courage in his soul I have not seen before. Galoot was also named for his large size---he is right on track on the growth chart with his Giant brother.

Spidey. Born Nov 2012. A sweet and very friendly boy. Keen to make contact---eye, touch, verbal, intuitive---with everyone he meets. He is happiest when people are talking to him. Nicknamed Spidey for his tendency to leave long trails of drool on anyone who comes near.
