Up to Date!

Poor little blog has been long neglected. Let's see if I can fix that.

I've had such high hopes for this blog, and plans change, but maybe I just need to keep at it and see what develops, what kind of personality it has. Or maybe I'm overthinking things and I just need more coffee.

Anyways, things sure have changed. We've moved provinces, being closer to friends and family is great! No, really, it is! Both boys have had their birthdays, so we now have one 3 year old and a 13 month old. I could go on and on about stuff we've missed, so we'll skip the rest and move on to where we are.

"Little" T is a 27lb baby monster. A cute one. Seriously. He's always so happy and rarely does anything make him cranky, but when he is he goes from happy to cranky in 2 seconds. One of his favourite things is waking up in the morning when his brother barges in and getting the windows opened so he can look outside and point. He excitedly dances in his crib, like if he just goes fast enough he could launch himself right out!

Needless to say, he loves food. Even non food. If it's carpet fluff he'll try to eat it. He loves the cat food, so poor Morris has had to have his food moved to the bathroom, two steps away from his litter. Poor Morris, but it's easier to keep an eye on the mobile baby there than the kitchen. And, he's walking. And running. And tormenting his brother while getting tormented, they think it's great fun, I think it's loud.

K is in the middle of potty training. Oh joy! Oh rapture! Oh... carpet cleaner. He gets the idea, but still has trouble catching himself most days. If we have the right (expensive) incentive *cough* bribe *cough*, he is fine. It's a work in progress.

He loves his brother. He'll play nicely by himself all morning, but at the first hint that T might be waking up, he runs in and slams the door open and jumps right in the crib and then I can't stop the chaos until someone goes to nap. He loves Ninja Turtles and Transformers lately, though Buzz Lightyear is a close one the last few days. He pretends to "transform", making weird noises while shifting his arms and legs around, then darts away all transformed. Children. What strange creatures. Entertaining though!

The personality on this one is shining through. He plays shy at strangers, except other children. With other kids he runs right up, shouts "Hi!" in their face, then pretends to fall to the ground dramatically, then jumping up and doing a forced laugh.

He's loving learning. He wants to know everything. Right now he's working on phonics. He asks all the time what sounds the letters make. And counting past fifteen, we're getting into the twenties now.

Well, the older one is being quiet, better check what's going on before the chaos of the day starts!
