Getting to know you

I am getting into a routine and it is going quite smoothly. I am enjoying the time with the boys. They are starting to get comfortable and we are having a lot of fun together. It is interesting to see their personalities and how they play together.
The oldest is a great helper and takes care of his brothers. It was really nice the first few days, he let me know what the other two were doing and he is able to interpret what the middle boy is trying to say to me. He really loves his younger brothers and takes good care of them. It is sad to see him though. It was really obvious during the transition at the county building. The youngest started to cry and he went straight to jumping, making faces and doing anything he could to stop him from crying. It really broke my heart that this little 4 year old feels so much responsibility for his brothers. I pray that he will become comfortable enough in our home that he will be able to be a little boy again. He also needs constant attention and it is pretty easy for him to get it since he is the only verbal one. It is hard for him to give the other two boys some space and let them get some attention of their own. It is something we are going to have to work on and it is something i am going to need some help trying to figure out how to balance giving attention to all three.
The middle child is 3 years old and has very little verbal skills. He is able to get across what he wants or needs by using hand motions, partial words and his older brother helping him out. It has got to be very frustrating and it is sad for me to see him trying to communicate, especially when i can't understand him. He doesn't really have any words, he tries to say words and i have learned to identify what words he is using for certain things. He uses the word me A LOT! Every time his older brother says something he will say 'me', meaning he did, made, or wants to do the same thing. He says wawa for dog, ar for car, wauwau is for water.
He likes to argue! When i say something he automatically will say 'no'. It is something i need to make sure i don't get caught up in. It is so easy to start a yes and no back and forth. He teases his older brother and likes to take his toys or touch his plate at mealtime. It is a way to get attention. I hope we can get him into speech therapy soon. It will help him immensely. He is a funny little guy and has some silly faces, he is very expressive and it is really cute.
The youngest little guy is very quiet and spends most of playtime playing by himself. He can get really quiet and i see moments where he disconnects from what is going on, he also has a hard time making eye contact. I sure hope we can get him some therapy soon. He definitely has an insecure attachment. He also isn't very verbal and doesn't have the ability to get his point across the way the middle child is able to. He sure is a cutie and thinks brian is hilarious! It is so funny, it doesn't matter what brian says, he will just crack up laughing. He has a great laugh! He is very unsure on his feet still and i have to remember that he still needs a lot of help walking, something i wouldn't expect to have to do with a 2 year old.
The boys are great and i am enjoying spending my day with them.
