The Blob

I have recently mentioned how Tirzah is my kiddo who will lay around like a blob...on the couch, watching TV, snuggled up with her blankie, for hours and hours on end. If she was left undisturbed I think she would lay there until she became a part of the furniture like a fossil. I am sometimes not sure how to handle her lack of energy in contrast to the other three's excessive amounts of energy.

Don't get me wrong, she has a ferocious personality, and can run wild with the rest of them, but most of her energy comes out of her mouth and her tear ducts. She doesnt particularly like an over abundance of physical exercise, and while her brothers would stay outside for hours she gets too hot and always seems to have a "cramp" in her side. We often take walks at night, and she has been known to negotiate with Jericho until somehow she is riding in the stroller while he is walking. She recently asked me could she have a wheelchair, simply because she was tired of walking.

I joke a lot about this particular aspect of her personality...but she is also my only kiddo who will sit for hours drawing pictures for me. She will often make me cards, and things to put on the fridge. If she hears it's your birthday you can expect she will sit at the table for hours making a card, or 50, so you feel properly celebrated. She may like to lay on the couch for 75% of the day, but I guess at least someone in this house sits down.
