In a nutshell
My first two kids are shy. It’s just the way it is. Number one is more shy than number two, but neither of them do much to call attention to themselves. They are always hesitant about anything new. You get the picture.
Enter Beck.
He is the exact opposite of his brothers. I know I have mentioned before that he will talk to anyone, anywhere, anytime. He rolls down car windows to yell greetings at people on the street, he chats up cashiers in stores where we shop, he just never stops talking. Like, ever.
I took pictures of my friend’s daughter the other day, and he was flirting with her the whole time. “Watch this Jensyn”, he said. “I can do a run-walk.” Or, “Look at my strong arms.” As I was giving her directions on where to stand for the next photo, Beck again called for her attention. “Hey, Jensyn….” and then he simply struck this pose and smiled at her like the cheshire cat.
Yesterday, we were running into the grocery store in between the boys swimming lessons. They were wet and had their swimming suits on. Tate whined, “Mom! Can’t I stay in the car? I don’t wanna go in my swimming suit, everyone will look at me!”
Beck’s face lit up and without hesitation, he said, “Well, I’m coming in. I love it when people look at me!”
And that pretty much sums up his personality at the age of four.

Funny you posted this because I just had a conversation about this very thing with your mom earlier today! My oldest Leah, is like your Josh and our Levi is totally your “Beck”. I wonder what would have happened if those two had came into contact at the reunion! It’s been fun to see Josh!
Oh how I love that kid! I think they are all cute, and great kids, but that one. I love how he just says whatever, whenever.
