Memory Update

Just a little update on the boys for memory's sake.... AW now consistently uses three-word sentences and, occasionally, even a four-word one! Some of his notable word combos are: "can't reach it", "Daddy (or anyone) doing?", "no, not there", "heard it, cricket (or whatever)", and "there it (he, she, etc) is!" A couple weeks ago, he said he wanted "more". I asked "more milk or more noodles?" His reply was his very first four-word sentence: "more milk and noodles." Some things he loves right now are: climbing, asking what you're doing, fruit, chicken nuggets, his bubbo (he idolizes HL!), pirates, Dora, and drawing- on anything. He is an extremely animated little child who is not shy about sharing his feelings. He makes the most obvious faces, and when he's upset, he stands with his face to the wall, wearing a heart-breaking frown. He makes it rather difficult to follow through with discipline sometimes. Oh! And last night he just about climbed all the way out of his crib- good thing I caught him and stopped it. Guess we'll be looking for a bunk bed soon..... HL is still wrapped up in pirates, vikings, knights, firefighters, rescue heroes, superheroes, and army guys. Hubby tells me often just how helpful HL has been that day with caring for Sam. In fact, Hubby admits that there are times when he downright needed HL and he came through. I told HL how his daddy tells me this and how proud we both are of him. He replied: "I'm proud of my job too, mommy. It's my job to protect AW and baby Sam." And he truly believes it- to his very soul. One issue we're having with HL is bossiness. We're hoping it's something he'll grow out of, but haven't seen much evidence of that yet. Suggestions are welcome....
