Calvin and Sloan,
Oh I am so bad at updating. I like to blame it on our dinosaur of a computer. The truth is that facebook is so darn convenient I tend to neglect the blog.
So where are we now?
Potty trained. It's a good place to be. You decided to get serious about it after our June beach vacation and ever since July, with a little help from something that starts with "S" and ends with "kittles," we have been in underwear and panties (and may anyone be stricken down that calls panties underwear or vice versa). Still doing pullups at night, but there are many mornings you wake up dry.
Talking talking talking. You both use words like "actually" and say things like, well, you speak like small adults. You have learned how to express your feelings. For example, you will say, "I am sad about Mommy being at work. But I am happy about you mama!" When your wonderful first teacher for this school year had to leave due to illness (long story) you would say, "I am sad about S___". You can both count to 20 (with a little help in the teens), say your ABCs and the pledge of allegiance. You know that fish have gills and humans have lungs. You know that mama is a "nurse prac-tish-o-ner" and mommy is a "zecutive sisstant".
Calvin. You have become very energetic as of late. You can be very wild, sometimes throwing toys, or yourself. You are oh so sensitive, but such a good boy. You try so hard to be good at everything and to do all of the right things. Your feelings get hurt when you mess something up, get in trouble, or have an accident. You are obsessed with sports, specifically Hockey. I cut down a little lefty hockey stick for you and everyday after school you want to play hockey out front with Mama. You have learned to hold the stick correctly and your slap shot is a force to be reckoned with. You love cereal, riding with the window down in the car, and flags.
Sloan. You hardly ever leave the house without one of your babies or a purse. You are so sweet to your babies and you are happiest when playing with them. Your favorite colors are pink and purple, your favorite movie is The Incredibles. You have become -extremely- picky about what you wear. You are very concerned about things matching, even your underwear. You love chapstick. You play very well by yourself and have very strong opinions about...well, everything. You can still throw a viscious tantrum, and are a little slow to apologize at times. You will even put yourself in timeout...just to undermine our authority :) You have an imaginary friend! Her name is YoYo. The other night I asked you where she was during dinner and you pointed right next to me saying, "She's right there. She's looking at you,"
Things you guys like to eat right now: blueberry pancakes, broccoli, pizza, chicken legs (you call them chicken bone bones), blts, we have salmon every tuesday when mommy works, corn, peas, enchiladas, fruit... you are both great eaters and will eat just about anything we put in front of you.
Favorite books right now: Tango Makes 3, Mad About Plaid, Huck Runs Amuck; Richard Scary "big book"
We have been spending lots of time in the front yard, at the zoo, marmee's house, & papa and lolli's house. You love going down to Grady to Papa & Lolli's house in the country, and up to Sparky's cabin in Snowball. You went to the Buffalo River for the first time in September and had a blast throwing rocks.
2 has been a very trying, but very FUN age so far. You guys are incredibly entertaining. Hope you are enjoying this year as much as we are.
Love,
Your Moms
