They are both very good little boys. They are independent, curious & have excellent memories. They are really big into ‘Jake & the Pirates’ right now but still love ‘Super Why’ just as much. They also LOVE playing the “matching game” on mommy’s new Kindle Fire. Both boys have a new phrase they are using a lot lately – “Don’t want to.” – which is becoming a little frustrating. They LOVE books & LOVE singing – we do a lot of both daily!! They are sooo cute when they do something together (ex: put their cups away in the fridge) and then tell me that they are using “teamwork” – they give each other a hug & kiss after they do that… it is just the sweetest thing. They do well at bedtime and settle down quickly (after one requested trip to the potty). They are going to bed around 7:30 PM and will sleep until 6-7 AM on the weekends (although it’s usually closer to 6 AM!). They are hit-or-miss for going down good for naps on the weekends and we’ve had to get strict with them because they were goofing around & making it into playtime when they both still really need naps.

Loves trying things “by myself” and is pretty successful at getting dressed (still with some help from mommy) and putting his own shoes on. He loves “fixing” & “cleaning” things – we have toys to aid in these adventures, but sometime his big imagination kicks in to help (ex: using the lawn trimmer as a hand-held vacuum). He likes to tattle on his brother a lot & we’re working on other options for him instead of running to mommy/daddy every time something happens. He loves baths & water so I’m hoping to make a couple of indoor swimming pool trips this winter.
Eats: most everything or he’ll at least try it before he says he doesn’t like it; he is still excellent on eating all fruits & vegetables (especially peas & carrots); doesn’t like to have fruit pieces in his yogurt; isn’t currently that fond of pizza (crazy kid!); current favorites: yogurt, cheeseburgers, pasta & sauce (but does not eat regular spaghetti noodles, they have to be some sort of shape), bananas, carrots, mac ‘n cheese
Potty training: Doing really good – has stayed dry all week & does most of the time! He’s not as excited about going on the potty as Colton & so far has yet to tell us that he has to go. I’m hoping he is motivated by Colton a little bit.
Colton
Very independent & plays well independently but still tries to have mommy do some things (getting dressed & putting on shoes) instead of attempting them himself. His best friend is his little stuffed “Curious George” he got for Christmas – he give him hugs & kisses and takes him everywhere he goes. He is very easy-going but when he gets frustrated, he gets mad fast. This usually ends up in hitting, which we’re working on with him. He is good at negotiating to get more of what he wants – more cartoons, more time to play with a toy he’s supposed to share, delaying a trip to the bathroom or delaying bedtime (needs to go potty, needs a specific stuffed “friend”, etc.).
Eats: very picky!, he’ll tell us that he doesn’t like something before he even takes one bite of it (although he’s getting a little better at least taking one bite of something if prompted by mom or dad); refuses almost all vegetables but would eat fruit all day long if you let him; isn’t currently that fond of pizza (crazy kid!); current favorites: grilled cheese, all fruit, yogurt, pasta & sauce (but does not eat regular spaghetti noodles, they have to be some sort of shape), biscuits, mac ‘n cheese
Potty training: Doing awesome – we are going on a full week of no accidents! He has gotten so good at letting us know that he has to go potty, even asking to go during mealtime. He even got to pick out some “Mater” (Cars) underwear to wear this week since he had been staying clean & dry so well – he was pumped about those!
