"Come What May and Love It"

I never get a chance to actually write and post anything but pictures on my blog (which are priceless), but I wanted to share a few fun things about the boys.

Nathan is a fun cuddly boy who loves to tease and would be playing basketball all day if he could. He loves to play with firetrucks. He dresses up as a fireman and pretends to put out fires. He also loves to read books about fire trucks (or any type of truck) and volcanos right now. When we go to the park, we must take all of our tools with our hard hat and "fix" the equipment. When he runs, he must have on his running shorts and shirt. He will stretch before he runs, and Matt says that he stretches in the exact same order as he does before he runs. He enjoys playing hide and go seek, fingerpainting (or anything artistc), watching TV, running, reading, playing ball, and rough housing. He bring such joy to my life. He is officially potty trained at night and during the day. He also loves to help me: do laundry, mow, garden, empty the dish washer, wash dishes, cook, and clean. Nathan loves to show affection toward Jared by giving him hugs and kisses. When I take Nathan to his speech class, Nathan must give Jared a hug and kiss before he leaves.

Jared is our little acrobat. When I got my sonogram with him, the technician said that he would be an acrobat because she would see his head in one place and then next second in the exact same place see his feet. I will find him up on the table at random times of the day. He now goes from the chair to the table to his highchair (the little monkey). He also loves to climb on Nathan's tricylce and then stand on the seat part with no hands. Jared loves music, dancing, singing, balls (especially basketball), and animals. He loves the Old MacDonald song and will say, "eiei oooo." He also says ho ho (for santa), dog, ball, bath, ma, da, nana, papa, snack, more (sign language), blue, and many more words each day.
