Update on the Boys

My oldest is this little grown up boy now. He likes to paint and organize his coin collection he started (which is really just a bunch of change he keeps in a box). Everytime grandpa/grandma come over, he/they give him change to store in his box. He sleeps in his big boy bed and still takes a good 2 hour nap every afternoon. He likes going potty like a big boy but doesn't like it when you make a big deal out of it. (On a side note, some people thought he wasn't potty trained because I never talked about it on this blog. Well, I just thought it was weird to talk about the potty habits on my child on the internet....so, yes, he is potty trained. No, it wasn't that hard. And yes we are happy about it.) He likes to read with his Boingo pen and books. The pen thing turns on and reads the book to you and he likes to follow along with the words and stop and start on different pages. He has a million art supplies because he loves to sit and make things. He starts his summer class of gymnastics next tuesday, which he still really likes. He really likes playing with his cousin and going to the park (what kid doesn't like the park:) He still eats a good sized breakfast, a little lunch, and a big dinner. It is his little eating pattern. He is still very cuddly and gives lots of hugs. He is 3.

My youngest is in a crazy, all of the place toddler stage. He loves to climb and run around. His favorite person is grandpa and his face lights up whenever they are together. He will eat his meals in 3 minutes and is a growing boy. He will eat so much more variety of foods then his brother did. He loves salsa and he even ate a slice of green pepper the other day. He is trying to talk all the time and can say 15-20 things so far. His favorite thing to do is answer questions that people ask. He just started wanting to sit long enough for our story time at night. He really likes his sleeping routine and will rarely go to bed without it or anywhere else other than at home in his crib (he will fall asleep in the car though still). He loves his brother but sometimes his brother likes privacy, so I made "together" and "separate" playtime for them. He loves to dance to music and he likes when you watch him dance around so he can laugh and smile at you. He turns 20 months in about 2 weeks.
