This year, he is taller AND heavier. I cant believe hes in the 81st percentile for height, because he doesnt FEEL tall - except for when he stands next to other kids his age ;) Our baby chubster, Sam (who was over 10lb at birth and had the worlds best rolls!), has slimmed way down into the 44th percentile for weight and up into the 58th for height.br />br />But the BIGGEST surprise was that 3-year-old Caleb now officially weighs MORE than his 5-year-old brother, Elliot. This should come as no surprise since Caleb is the best.eater.ever, and Elliot still lives on air, carbs, and dairy. Oy...  He continues to be at the bottom of his growth charts for height and weight, yet despite the overall lack of eating, he remains on his own steady curve, and the doctors are happy. Fortunately, we live in America where everything is fortified, so he is healthy despite his aggravating! lack of variety.br />br />We are so thankful for all these healthy, growing kids. And thankful that they all passed their vision tests again this year - anther bullet dodged by their two, four-eyed folks!div styleclear: both;>/div>/div>div classpost-footer>div classpost-footer-line post-footer-line-1 stylewidth:525px !important;>div classpost-share-buttons goog-inline-block>/div>/div>div classpost-footer-line post-footer-line-2 stylewidth:525px !important;>span classpost-timestamp>Posted byspan classfn>b>                                              Leah Hesterman                                            /b>/span>ata classtimestamp-link hrefhttp://blog.hestermania.com/2017/11/new-growth.html itempropurl relbookmark titlepermanent link>abbr classpublished itempropdatePublished title2017-11-03T13:09:00-04:00>1:09 PM/abbr>/a>/span>span classpost-comment-link>a classcomment-link hrefhttps://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/7817700725640851044/2678625364919770433 onclick>0comments/a>/span>span classpost-icons>span classitem-control blog-admin pid-2102974133>a hrefhttps://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID7817700725640851044&postID2678625364919770433&frompencil titleEdit Post>img alt classicon-action height18 src//img2.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif width18/>/a>/span>/span>/div>div classpost-footer-line post-footer-line-3 stylewidth:525px !important;>/div>span classpost-labels>Labels:a hrefhttp://blog.hestermania.com/search/label/Pediatrician reltag>Pediatrician/a>/span>/div>/div>/div>                                          /div>/div>                                                                                div classdate-outer>                                      h3 classdate-header>span>Thursday, February 9, 2017/span>/h3>                                        div classdate-posts>                                      div classpost-outer>div classpost hentry itemscopeitemscope itemtypehttp://schema.org/BlogPosting>a name515157789833240236>/a>h3 classpost-title entry-title itempropname>a hrefhttp://blog.hestermania.com/2017/02/elliots-broken-wrist.html>Elliots Broken Wrist/a>/h3>div classpost-header>div classpost-header-line-1>/div>/div>div classpost-body entry-content idpost-body-515157789833240236 itemproparticleBody>Tuesday night, Elliot took a tumble down the basement stairs and fractured two bones on the underside of his wrist, the ulna and the radius. RIGHT as the first Small Group of the semester was getting started in our living room upstairs. I took him to urgent care that night, where they put him in a splint with a sling, and the next day, an orthopedic doctor put him in a hard cast for the next month, after which we go back for more x-rays and, hopefully, removal of said cast.br />br />By the time Small Group ended Tuesday night and we got to the pediatric urgent care place, the decks were stacked against us. It was two hours past Elliots bedtime, he was crashing from eating a billion cookies earlier in the night, he fell asleep in the car on the way there so we had to wake him up, and he was in a whole lot of pain - all of which left him TERRIFIED, and he responded to the exam like a caged animal, kicking and screaming. Literally. I didnt know whether to feel worse for my poor, scared, hurting boy, or the doctors he was physically fighting. He wouldnt even accept their offer of a lollipop. He said no to every flavor choice they gave him, until finally he yelled, No! I dont want ANY of that stuff!br />br />Well, OK then. He was just so done.br />br />The next afternoon at the orthopedic doctors office, Elliot was a completely different person. He was super chatty with the nurse, discussing how there are bones in his body to help him move, and how he broke some of those bones. He talked about his yellow rain boots and how they were too small and he shouldnt have been wearing them on the stairs. And he loved looking at the pictures of his bones INSIDE HIS BODY on their big computer screen. He picked a dark blue cast and sat there very calmly as they wrapped it around his arm. No kicking, no pushing, no screaming - just some minor hesitation and a whimper or two. Its amazing what a good nights sleep and a little experience can do for a scared little boy.br />br />They were probably wondering why I was so happy to leave that appointment with a happy, chatty son... with a blue lollipop in his mouth. div styleclear: both;>/div>/div>div classpost-footer>div classpost-footer-line post-footer-line-1 stylewidth:525px !important;>div classpost-share-buttons goog-inline-block>/div>/div>div classpost-footer-line post-footer-line-2 stylewidth:525px !important;>span classpost-timestamp>Posted byspan classfn>b>                                              Leah Hesterman                                            /b>/span>ata classtimestamp-link hrefhttp://blog.hestermania.com/2017/02/elliots-broken-wrist.html itempropurl relbookmark titlepermanent link>abbr classpublished itempropdatePublished title2017-02-09T15:37:00-05:00>3:37 PM/abbr>/a>/span>span classpost-comment-link>a classcomment-link hrefhttps://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/7817700725640851044/515157789833240236 onclick>0comments/a>/span>span classpost-icons>span classitem-control blog-admin pid-2102974133>a hrefhttps://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID7817700725640851044&postID515157789833240236&frompencil titleEdit Post>img alt classicon-action height18 src//img2.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif width18/>/a>/span>/span>/div>div classpost-footer-line post-footer-line-3 stylewidth:525px !important;>/div>span classpost-labels>Labels:a hrefhttp://blog.hestermania.com/search/label/Elliot reltag>Elliot/a>/span>/div>/div>/div>                                          /div>/div>                                                                                div classdate-outer>                                      h3 classdate-header>span>Wednesday, September 7, 2016/span>/h3>                                        div classdate-posts>                                      div classpost-outer>div classpost hentry itemscopeitemscope itemtypehttp://schema.org/BlogPosting>a name2674102595385508873>/a>h3 classpost-title entry-title itempropname>a hrefhttp://blog.hestermania.com/2016/09/first-day-of-school-2016.html>First Day of School, 2016/a>/h3>div classpost-header>div classpost-header-line-1>/div>/div>div classpost-body entry-content idpost-body-2674102595385508873 itemproparticleBody>div classseparator styleclear: both; text-align: center;>a hrefhttps://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA40yX0zIx29Iy_V6b0C1ynwrnjFGL_7mg2Yhfv-UC9FjwIEZOuV9-r9UtxpsrixHnykRfCsmCnUuCZHoyGXJ19lEwlxYgYlA3qgoxOIIGtmDaOlZtpO_nW2Ud0P_P8ecGM1R_-60KwiCY/s1600/IMG_7764.JPG imageanchor1 stylemargin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;>img border0 height320 srchttps://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA40yX0zIx29Iy_V6b0C1ynwrnjFGL_7mg2Yhfv-UC9FjwIEZOuV9-r9UtxpsrixHnykRfCsmCnUuCZHoyGXJ19lEwlxYgYlA3qgoxOIIGtmDaOlZtpO_nW2Ud0P_P8ecGM1R_-60KwiCY/s320/IMG_7764.JPG width320 />/a>/div>br />br />We kicked off a new school year today!Each kid took a turn coming into my room for a private parent-student conference, answering aloud the questions I read them from the plaque.

Right now, we are about 5 weeks in and having a blast! I thought it would be fun to document what were doing, should we ever need to look back, and so we can have all of our resources / ideas in one place.br />br />b>Preparation:/b>br />br />THE BOOKbr />After some research, we decided to use a hrefhttp://amzn.to/29Mu2AK target_blank>A Childs Book of Character Building/a> as our spine, and each ordered used copies from Amazon. It was important to have our base material be open-and-go, from a Biblical perspective, and to cover a wide variety of ages. We have eight kids between us, ages 9 1/2, almost 9, 8, 6, 5, almost 4, 2, and almost 2.br />br />THE PLANbr />We got together for a playdate at her house to decide which character traits we would study - there were 12 covered in the book and we only had 6 weeks together, so we picked the top priorities for our families and narrowed it down in this order: br />- Attentivebr />- Obedience / Creativitybr />- Tenderheartedbr />- Diligencebr />- Patiencebr />- Contentmentbr />br />Some traits were easy to eliminate because they felt like duplicates of others, and some traits seemed totally missing. (Angela bought the 2nd book in this series - I wonder if theyre in there!)br />br />We decided to cover one character trait each week (with the exception of the Obedience / Creativity week), and we both separately felt breakfast each day would be the best time to discuss - little kids minds are ready to listen, and their mouths are full! Each chapter is broken down into five parts: definition, in the Bible, at home, at school, and at play. Ideally, we would cover one each day, but realistically, at least for me, I found myself covering either nothing at breakfast time (because...summer) or cramming two or three days-worth into any one meal. Fortunately, the readings are super short and the kids were always asking for more anyway. The readings sparked some really great discussions to get our days going, and then we had all day to notice each other doing (or not doing!) what weve been discussing. One week, I even make a checklist, and the kid with the most checks at the end of the week earned a special sleepover!br />br />Angela and I decided to take turns hosting and planning the weekly get-togethers. At least 1/2 of the weeks, weve had to change the time or date around (...summer), so were getting plenty of practical life experience in a trait missing from the book - flexibility! br />br />b>Character Training in Action:/b>br />br />ATTENTIVEbr />This trait was first because it was at the top of both of our lists! After a quick snack where the kids got to catch up with each other - and, OK, where Angela and I got to enjoy some much-needed grown-up conversation - we headed outside to play our first game.br />ul>li>u>The Red Herring/u> - Angela stood on one side of her yard, and the kids stood on the other, with big anticipatory grins on their faces. They slowly inched towards her while she - facing the other way - told a story of many red things, and the minute these ATTENTIVE children heard red i>herring!/i> they had to dash back across the yard to their starting point before Angela could catch them. There were many shrieks of excitement and false starts (a reeeeeed...PENCIL!), and they each had a turn being the storyteller. It was a great way to make them pay very close attention, and they had a great time giggling and running around together. Unfortunately, it ended in a few tears - as many of these well-intentioned games do - when a few of the smaller children got unintentionally knocked over by their very eager older siblings. (Either that or because the sight of Angela chasing after them was very, very scary.) ;)/li>li>u>I Spy/u> - Angela set many items out on a tray, and after letting the kids study the tray ATTENTIVELY, she removed the items one at a time, and brought the tray back to them. The kids had to guess which item was missing. Sometimes, Angela was sneaky and i>added/i> an item or two. Their great little memories impressed me!/li>li>u>Simon Says/u> - The kids took turns being Simon in Simon Says, making sure they were ATTENTIVE and only reacting when Simon Says./li>/ul>OBEDIENCE / CREATIVITYbr />The next trait I really wanted to work on was Obedience, and Angela really wanted Obedience, so we agreed to do both in one week. My family worked on Obedience at our house while hers worked on Creativity at theirs, and when we got together at my house, we combined the two. After a snack and some outside play, a rain shower brought our first activity into the garage.br />ul>li>u>Mother, May I...?/u> - The kids took turns asking me if they could CREATIVELY get closer to me. Then, regardless of whether I said yes or no or amended their propositions, they had to happily OBEY. Animals seemed the main focus of their questioning - Mother, may I take three slug steps towards you?, Mother, may I take five kangaroo hops?, or ...Two bunny leaps? There were also questions about ballet twirls and baby crawls. Overall, I enjoyed their creativity, but eventually, the game digressed into inappropriate potty questions and miscommunication over whose turn it was, and again, our game ended in a few shed tears. We are still a work in progress ;)/li>li>u>Coloring Page/u> - I found a fun coloring page where you had to color exactly as you were told, in the order in which you were told. It may sound boring, but the kids realized that there is still a lot of room for individual CREATIVITY while still being OBEDIENT. On the back of their papers, they were told they could draw something familiar in an i>unfamiliar /i>way. Some kids went totally out on their own, while other kids drew the exact example we gave to illustrate the uniqueness of the idea - whoops!/li>li>(There was one more - maybe two! Will remember once I get the photos added in!)/li>/ul>TENDERHEARTEDbr />Back at Angelas, we had some super yummy quesadillas and prepared our little ones.br />ul>li>u>Bananas and Monkeys Card Game/u> - Angela printed out a card game where the kids could either choose to give each other the matches they needed, or give each other monkeys (kind of like the Old Maid, or the Bear in Pit, but there were many monkeys). After the game was over, the kids who gave out the LEAST monkeys, and were instead tenderhearted in giving their friends the matching bananas they needed, were rewarded with very special tattoos. The goal of the game was not to get yourself the most matches, as they assumed, but to be the most TENDERHEARTED. /li>li>u>Squishy Pillow/u> - A variation on musical chairs, each child had to be TENDERHEARTED and share their pillow on the floor with someone else. Every time the music stopped, the kids rushed to sit on the pillows, and then one was taken away before the music started again. By the end, they were all sitting together in a heap on one giant floor pillow, in a fit of giggles. We had fun joking that the name of this game was Squishy Cushy Tushy Pillow./li>li>u>Fortune Tellers of Kindness/u> - We helped each of the kids make a a hrefhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_fortune_teller target_blank>fortune teller/a> - flash-back to when we were little! Hollah! - where the fortunes on the very inside flap had to be something kind. Im going to give you a hug, Ill help you clean your room, etc./li>/ul>DILIGENCEbr />While Angelas husband Adam came over to very DILIGENTLY help Ryan work on digging out the brick walk were putting in around the side and back of the garage (yesssss, I know, were always up to something!), Angela and I got the kids together for pizza and some play time before getting down to business.br />ul>li>u>Skewering Fruit/u> - No one* was allowed to either eat the yummy fruit OR quit working until they had DILIGENTLY assembled a total of 24 skewers for everyone to share. One of my kids, who shall remain nameless JACOB, left the table after he decided he had made more than enough to contribute to the 24...when in reality, he wanted to see what his little brother - who has zero interest in anything fruit-related - was watching in the living room. We were surprised at everyone elses perseverance, and even the two 2-yr-olds excitedly got in on the action. br />* adults and children under 5 excluded from fruit-snitching - hah!/li>li>u>Making Whipped Cream/u> - Angela put some heavy cream in two little mason jars, and the kids had to take turns DILIGENTLY shaking the jars for 5 minutes straight, until whipped cream formed. It was wonderful dipping our fruit skewers - or in the case of Ian (2), your whole hand - into the home-made whipped cream!/li>li>u>Feather-Blowing/u> - A starting line and a finish line were taped far apart on my living room floor, and the kids had to take turns getting a little red feather from one line across to the other - i>without/i> touching it. Abigail (5) was first, and quickly discovered that blowing the feather DILIGENTLY moved it quickly, but Hayden (almost 9) got extra points for scooping it up with his shirt and running it across the other line. I should have said, Nothing can touch the feather! haha. I was hoping someone would fan it over the line with a paper, but no one thought of that. (This was the only time I went to Pinterest for ideas, and there were virtually no activities for Diligence. The only other idea I saw was to have the kids work a puzzle that they i>knew /i>was missing pieces - the goal being to work diligently until the job is done, regardless of the outcome - but we didnt have enough time.)/li>li>u>Super Detailed Dot-to-Dot/u> - Angelas impulse-buy at the grocery check-out was a really cool dot-to-dot, where the numbers were really small and counted up into the mid-200s on each page. We picked out pictures we thought each kid would like (Angela and myself included - we loved doing this!), and thought the results of their DILIGENCE were very telling. Jacob (8), who typically has a lot of trouble finishing what he starts, was the first one done (and he did it well!), while all three girls (9 1/2, 6, and 5) worked away so patiently and seriously until they were finished - even turning over their pages to conquer the other side! They younger two little ladies needed a few pointers from their Mamas along the way, but we were very pleased with how well they did overall. Even Ian worked hard on his paper, and it was super cute./li>/ul>Next up tomorrow...PATIENCE!!br />br />ul>/ul>div styleclear: both;>/div>/div>div classpost-footer>div classpost-footer-line post-footer-line-1 stylewidth:525px !important;>div classpost-share-buttons goog-inline-block>/div>/div>div classpost-footer-line post-footer-line-2 stylewidth:525px !important;>span classpost-timestamp>Posted byspan classfn>b>                                              Leah Hesterman                                            /b>/span>ata classtimestamp-link hrefhttp://blog.hestermania.com/2016/07/character-training.html itempropurl relbookmark titlepermanent link>abbr classpublished itempropdatePublished title2016-07-19T17:18:00-04:00>5:18 PM/abbr>/a>/span>span classpost-comment-link>a classcomment-link hrefhttps://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/7817700725640851044/6977670121514925788 onclick>0comments/a>/span>span classpost-icons>span classitem-control blog-admin pid-2102974133>a hrefhttps://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID7817700725640851044&postID6977670121514925788&frompencil titleEdit Post>img alt classicon-action height18 src//img2.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif width18/>/a>/span>/span>/div>div classpost-footer-line post-footer-line-3 stylewidth:525px !important;>/div>span classpost-labels>Labels:a hrefhttp://blog.hestermania.com/search/label/Homeschool reltag>Homeschool/a>/span>/div>/div>/div>                                          /div>/div>                                                                                div classdate-outer>                                      h3 classdate-header>span>Thursday, March 17, 2016/span>/h3>                                        div classdate-posts>                                      div classpost-outer>div classpost hentry itemscopeitemscope itemtypehttp://schema.org/BlogPosting>a name4222399237222502776>/a>h3 classpost-title entry-title itempropname>a hrefhttp://blog.hestermania.com/2016/03/where-ya-been.html>Where Ya Been?/a>/h3>div classpost-header>div classpost-header-line-1>/div>/div>div classpost-body entry-content idpost-body-4222399237222502776 itemproparticleBody>OK, so its been forever - just shy of two years.br />br />i>SAY WHAT??/i>br />br />Ive hesitated updating the blog for several reasons:br />ol>li>Facebook is so much easier./li>li>Some of the blog design was jacked up. I know that shouldnt be enough of a reason to quit posting details that I dont ever want to forget...but Im a designer. With OCD. And I just couldnt look at it (or imagine anyone else looking at it) with glaring problems and error messages. So today, I carved out some time, rolled up my sleeves, and dug in to Bloggers crazy code. And even though I didnt add back in some of my friend Jens beautiful design elements, I was able to remove the broken ones, which is good enough to get me back on track. /li>li>Facebook is so much easier. /li>li>No matter how many times I link to this blog on Facebook and ask people to comment on the blog, they still comment on Facebook, and then all comments tied to this blog post are lost. So if you came here through a Facebook link and are reading this, please COMMENT HERE. I dont want to lose your comments, dear friends - they are a dynamic, valuable part of this blog!/li>li>Facebook is so much easier - in case you missed it ;)/li>/ol>br />But I am going to work on being more consistent from now on, and you can hold me to that. I am so sad I missed detailing many important events over the last two years - most importantly, the first year and a half of our 5th babys life!

There was much rejoicing over being a big kid like Lily and Jacob. She was sitting in the car, about to take a bite out of a banana, when her tooth decided to JUMP out of her mouth and into her lap. She concluded it was afraid of the banana! (Elliot, after hearing the story, also decided he was scared of bananas, because he said eating one would make his teeth fall out, too!) br />br /> a hrefhttps://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2tjr4QBf0x6RBuTSI_nNOJYMaE-5RZprBc_u7uktqxaJFxbWwrapONcvvAB6nVEQb9Pjy9pQa3ip5MECwKK0SjOKIXX5indw5Sb1sTxaRXYv6HFtQsufc5Cw1ukOKKDIvf-ectG7YSn7O/s1600/IMG_2774.JPG imageanchor1>img border0 height320 srchttps://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2tjr4QBf0x6RBuTSI_nNOJYMaE-5RZprBc_u7uktqxaJFxbWwrapONcvvAB6nVEQb9Pjy9pQa3ip5MECwKK0SjOKIXX5indw5Sb1sTxaRXYv6HFtQsufc5Cw1ukOKKDIvf-ectG7YSn7O/s320/IMG_2774.JPG width240 />/a>br />br />Today, a month and a half later, she lost the second tooth!
