Brenden
Brenden is already in the 4yr old class at daycare even tho he's not 4 yet. They needed room in the 3's class so he, and 2 other boys, moved up early. I constantly get complimented on how smart Brenden is. I had a parent come up to me and ask me what my secret was because when she picked up her child she saw Brenden reading with the teacher. The teacher said that B was one of 3 kids in the 3yr class that knew all his ABC's (as well as his phonics!) He doesn't look anything like a little baby anymore. He is officially in big boy land. He still lets Mommy baby him though :)! He's finally catching up on his size I do believe. He's always been several months behind in his clothing sizes but he's actually outgrowing some 3T stuff and ready to move into his size 4's. We're having to really work with him lately because he sees Logan in the full throws of his terrible twos and so he thinks he can get away with the same behavior. So its definitely been challenging trying to remind him that being a big boy isn't just having mroe rules, it also means he gets to do big boy things (like play with his Leap Pad that he got for Christmas) that Logan cannot do. Some days he does better than others, but all in all he's an outstanding little boy.
Logan
Logan is 2... enough said lol. He is rotten anyway and 2 just makes it worse. Now I say rotten with a smile on my face because he's that "i'm trying to be cute and funny" rotten. He pushes his boundaries for sure and knows just when to smile and laugh to stay out of trouble. We are 99% purged of the Sassy. We have just been gradually tapering off to the point where he doesn't really ask for it anymore and we only whip it out if he's inconsolably upset. Every now and then he'll find one and plop it in his mouth and ends up taking it out all on his own because it gets in his way. I'm glad it hasn't been too terrible of a process. I feared it would be rough! He has great vocabulary skills. He talks in full sentences and has a great grasp of using verb tense, pronouns, etc. He LOVES to talk.. and talk... and talk lol. Brenden will say "Mama, Logan won't stop talking to me" lol. Join the club Brenden.... Its really cute to hear him talk like a big boy but be so tiny. He'll tell you stories and make things up. He'll talk about something he saw on TV like its happening in real life right now. We're always hearing how Swiper is not very nice for taking something. He loves to dance and smile... that boy smiles ALL the time. I love it.
They are both turning into big boys on me. I really miss my babies, but I do enjoy sleeping through the night finally :) I also like that they can both tell me what is wrong versus trying to guess. So I guess there are some things to be gained with age.
The boys got dance lessons at Daycare and did a dance recital this year for the holidays. It was too precious for words. I'll include some various pictures of them from the holiday season!
