Brecken:
*says, "Oh no...bummer" when something bad happens
*doesn't like having her hair washed, lies down on her back as soon as you start putting the soap in
*calls
Cade, "Mo Doggy"
*loves to say a prayer (
Cade's from preschool) before dinner...starts with "hold my hands" and then the only part she says is at the end "for our food...amen" and sounds like a little southern girl with the way she says "amen." She always wants to do it at least twice...sometimes it turns into "hold my hands" and then the singing of "how I wonder what you are" or "happy birthday"
*bedtime routine consists of reading 1-3 books and then singing songs until she's content with the number of times you have sung "twinkle, twinkle little star"
*she is getting good at reciting her
abc's and 123's, although they usually aren't in order ; )
*she likes to roll her eyes back in her head when she's trying to get you to do something
*she recently started wanting to eat the lotion after her bath
*will sometimes cry when we drop her off at daycare, but usually is set on finding toys
*still likes to help unload the dishwasher
*is learning too many negative things from her big brother
*loves talking on the phone and gets mad when someone else is and she isn't
*is a great
snuggler,
cuddler, hugger, and kisser
*loves to look for tractors and water when we're in the car
*likes to help feed Wrigley
*calls her jacket her "life jacket"
*has started doing this high-pitched scream when she doesn't get her way...she can certainly make heads turn!
Cade:
*is still obsessed with playing with the neighbor kids...specifically Gavin and Cole
*doesn't like to go to preschool...says it's "kinda boring"
*learned to ride his bike without training wheels this summer!
*rolls his eyes when
Brecken wants to say the prayer twice
*is getting better at his alphabet and numbers
*has a crazy good memory when it comes to anything non-school related ; )
*bedtime routine consists of a long drawn-out bathroom routine, reading 3 books, and laying with him until he falls asleep which means falling asleep yourself (this developed out of necessity for our sanity, but I really don't mind it (
jim might disagree)...some day, some day...)
*loves motorcycles, 4-wheelers, and
jetskis*loves to sing Taylor Swift's "You Belong With Me."
*is constantly challenging the rules of "stay out of the street and don't go in your friends' houses" (yes I'm secretly glad it's getting colder!)
*is learning words and phrases that make me wonder where he is learning them
*calls
Brecken "
Shoobles"
*recently clasped his hands together and said, "Mom this is how you pray...and if you pray, then you'll have a baby in your tummy." What exactly are they teaching him at preschool?
*gives me glimpses of hope when he does sweet things like put all of
Brecken's blankets and animals in her bed before she goes to sleep, tells her good night, shares his toys with her, and looks out for her around other kids
