Our boys are such a joy! It is so fun to see them grow each day. Luke is quite the talker and Noah is becoming such a good big brother. Here are some of the things I love about them...
LUKE...
I love it when he says "Hurry, hurry, hurry" when he is trying to catch up with me, "coming, coming" when he is pushing his trains along the train table, "dark in here" everytime we go outside at night or into a dark room, "Daddy's car work" when he wakes up and doesn't see Daddy around, "Noah, I don't know (as he turns his head sideways)" when Noah is at Mother's Day Out and not at home, "Diaper" before he pees and poops (yes, I should potty train him but don't want to go there yet), "snack" or "cheerios" before he opens the pantry and picks out some cereal, grunts as he tries to pick up something heavy and then says 'heavy' and 'hard', sits on my lap facing me and says 'hey' while he grins so big and crunches his body with excitement, "I do it" every time I get on the floor so he can ride on my legs into the air, and on and on. It is such a precious time when they are learning to talk. He pronounces everything so clearly except for his 'L' when it is the first letter but can say it in most words in the word (like milk). I am amazed how he can say his "r's" since I had to go to speech for that and he could do it at 18 months. He loves saying 'dirt' (construct around the campus) and 'cows' and 'truck' on the way to pick up Noah as he sees things along the road. So fun!
NOAH...
He typically has something to tell me or do right when he wakes up. This morning he came straight to me and said, "I want to go see the elephants at the Fair." He is also becoming such a good big brother by giving Luke toys, trying to protect him at different times, and making sure he doesn't get left out whether it is going to Grammy's, getting a snack, or having toys. He is also doing really good in MDO. He is learning to write his letters and numbers and getting better and better and coloring in the lines. We go over his sheets and projects; he loves telling me about them. He tells me everything...like not just what all he circled (b/c it was a group of '5') but other groups and what numbers are associated with those. So thorough! He has always loved cooking with me and makes sure lately that I know he is the 'pour-er' and will do a good job. He doesn't like to miss out on any book reading. He always gets upset when he has to pick up his toys and is afraid he is going to miss out on reading. He is so smart and learning a lot of social skills and group obedience. Today I saw him stay in the line even though the other kids ran (something he tells me he does every time even through the other kids didn't-he so proud to tell me he obey's!) while walking from the play ground and he even let some other kids go first...wow! He always likes to be first so this is a tremendous step! I am thankful for his MDO and what is is teaching him! Thank you Grammy and my parents for allowing the boys to go!
I love that they are both very loving and can't get enough hugs, kisses, and snuggles with me. Boy, I am going to miss that when they get older! Love them and don't want to forget this fun stage!
