Recent Happenings

So a much overdue update on my little man.  He is two, so we have our good times and our frustrating times, but we are having fun for the most part!  He has started using the word "actually" which I always love to hear little kids use.  He's getting bigger sentences going and even correctly uses words like though.  His friend came over the other day and he said "Here, come play toys in mine room."  Not too shabby for a two year old.  He then took her to his room and took out a truck and started putting the pieces together for her.  What a gentleman!!  The typical two year old banter started soon after, but it was a great start to the day!  He is a typical boy and loves being outside and getting dirty! In addition to trains, trucks, and cars, William is also into dinosaurs right now.  His favorite is the broccoli - saurus!!

Emily is really into pretend play recently.  A few months ago we started playing "Opposite Emily" where she would be the Mommy and I would be Emily.  She has now moved on to playing more house type games and I always seem to get to be the Mommy while she is the baby and William is the big brother.  Or they are both babies!  She also talks about how she plays the same thing with her friends at school where she usually gets to be the big sister it seems.  Her and William are also playing together pretty well on their own lately too.  They disappear into one of their rooms and play together, I try my best to just let them be, but it's just too fun to watch and listen to them play.  They will stay little like this forever, right???

William moved into his big boy bed last month and has really transitioned pretty well.  We have our moments, especially at nap time, but he loves his Big Boy Bed!!!  It's just his crib with the front railing taken off, but he loves it.  He is so cute in the morning when he wakes up, he will get up and play in his room until he hears me, then will either peek out his door or jump back into his bed like he was still sleeping!  He is now quietly starting to call for me.  Nothing like Emily, who still screams for me every morning!!! 

There's an update on us and pics to come...
