Again it has been awhile. I'm ready to call it quits on this whole blog thing but perhaps not yet...
Summer flew by and winter is fast approaching. Many new changes are coming in the new year that I'm looking forward! More about that later, here's any update on the life of my boys!
Mr. Emmett turned two at the end of June. It is fun to see the boys together and how different their little personalities are. Emmett adores his big brother and loves to copy many thing Jonas does (like jumping from the coffee table to the couch, even if he might not make it). He is beginning to say a lot more words and some sentences but you have to listen closely to fully understand. He is much more laid back and seems to get over things more easily yet he is quite sensitive if you raise your voice. Emmett still loves his food and everybody's else's, well mostly mommy's. Lately he especially likes juice, waffles, muffins, fruit and chocolate, yum yum! He is still my blonde, my silky soft blonde, so cute! He wears size 2 and some size 3 clothing, shoe size 8 and I haven't even begun to potty train so size 4 diapers. He tries to dress himself and does like to pick out his own clothing when he can. Emmett is still a thumb sucker and any tag he sees (on tea towels, towels, clothing) he will grab the tag, lay down and suck his thumb! The boys have been sharing Jonas' room and bed for a few months now. I was hoping this would help Jonas stay in his own bed, knowing that Emmett was there with him but nope, I guess nothing beats the comfort of mommy's arm! Emmett does well in the big bed, usually up once at night and then he needs to be tucked in again (though lately I've been laying down with him in his own bed and falling asleep)! I even bought the star-shining ladybug to help the boys fall asleep better - I don't mind it thus far! Emmett has been enjoying playing with trucks, cars, trains, batman, ride-on cars, running around at the park and lately he started playing with puzzles. He also loves music and dancing!
As for Jonas, he is 4.5 years and always seems to be up to
no good, um something. If he is not trying to sneak to the park to see his buddy (by climbing over the fence), then he scheming to get what he wants! His biggest thing lately is to tell us 'Did you see that' and then he reenacts what ninja move he just did and tells us the play by play! Lately Jonas is interested in Angry Birds, Pokemon cards, cars, Mario, Batman, Ninjago and Beyblades. I think most of his toy obsessions are from the older boy at the day home he goes too! I still struggle to figure out what this kid eats but I know one day he will be eating us out of house & home! His favourite foods are hard boiled eggs, chocolate chip waffles, muffins, bacon, fishy crackers, grated cheese, carrots and apples. He is starting to out-grow his Size 4 clothing and he wears size 8 shoes (I think Emmett is catching up). He can dress himself, most days! He weighs 33 pounds and if he eats more eggs, then he is closer to 36 pounds! Bed-time and staying in his bed at night is still a struggle. My arm is his comfort - lately I've been thinking about purchasing a rubber arm for him!
