Pushing Through
Two of the septuplets, Alexis and Nathan, were using walkers throughout their lives. The family’s support was always with them which never let the kids feel low. Nathan was determined to get rid of the disease and learned motor abilities, he said, “I taught myself how to walk because I really wanted to learn. It’s just been getting better and better.” Alexis did something which inspired many young girls.
Pageant Winner
When Alexis McCaughey started participating in beauty pageants for children with special needs. Her family was there to support her as she walked on the ramp brightly. In 2013, she won the Teen Miss Dream Made True contest in Carroll, Iowa. She scored as the top 15% of the high school class. Alexis made it as a motivational leader and there was much more to happen in the septuplets lives.
Becoming Individuals
The septuplets were homeschooled in kindergarten. Bobbi guided her children who were close to the half classroom. After completing kindergarten, they were separated and were given different classes. They were now separated and this gave them a chance to become separate individuals. They were about to share another big moment in their lives.
High School
In 2012, started attending the Carlisle High School in Carlisle, Iowa. Bobbi used to pack seven lunches and kids used to backpacks packed. It was hard for McCaugheys at first and the teachers had a difficult time in remembering their names. Just give it a thought what it would have been like looking after 7 kids dealing with hormonal teens. Well, their teenage made one thing pretty clear.
Independent Aspirations
The McCaughey septuplets were completely different from each other. Alexis was studious, Kenny Jr was funny, Kelsey and Brandon were good at athletics. Brandon was the fearless and stubby kid. While each and every one had their own interests and hobbies, they were always together for adorable things.
Womb Mates To Bandmates
They were always together in the school band. Music was their thing and this made them spend quality time together. Rest of the times they were indulged in school sports events and other annual meets. While the media couldn’t get over the septuplets’ lives, they grabbed their opportunity of living a normal life.
