January update on Benjamin

Benjamin:
-growing taller by the minute (so it seems)
-just bought him a 'new' violin - 1/4th size
-started with the Strings Ensemble at his school - fun & a great teacher
-loves his new (bigger) bike
-favorite games...Monopoly Deal, Music Bingo, Sorry
-thinks I work at a hotel (he came to the new facility where I worked over the holidays & he was pretty impressed)
-he is always on the search for treasure...diamonds & such.
-asked about an old hymnbook on our piano (we looked up to see when it was published). It said 1902...and he wondered if pirates were alive back in 1902.
-loves science projects

What a great big brother & son. I feel so lucky.

January update on Trevin

Trevin:
-fully potty trained & I can't remember the last time he had an accident.
-my little sidekick...following me around
- we take turns working & playing together -very few tantrums anymore (I thought 3 would be harder than 2!)
-still so snuggly when he wakes up in the morning or from his afternoon nap
-sleeps thru the night 95% of the time
-loves to sing -told me last night, "Mommy, I love meeting."
-played meeting with cousin Colton yesterday at Grandma's house
-wants to go to his "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star school" (he came up with the name) to go to "kindergrade"
-likes to tell me "one (or six) questions about Papa" every night as he is going out of bed (this consists of a made up story about something that Papa does...absolutely hilarious & precious)
-loves puzzles -plays fire rescue with Benjamin -favorite toy
- flashlight
-37 pounds

It's going to be a fun year with him! And I may not ever be ready for him to go to school.

Be Positive!
