"Hey Goofy," said Casey. "Me Carter," said Carter. Cole wanting crackers. Hears me get out of shower. "Mom?" "Yes?" "Where r u?" "In here." "Crackers." Comes and finds me. "Kiss!?" Gives me a kiss. And then gets me to get him crackers.

Our Parents as Teachers lady came by the other week and came to talk about attachment. I was sitting on the floor with both boys all over me when she said that she doesn't think that that's an issue. :)

We got cute chickens. Boys love them. New adventures.

Cole: will point his index finger close to his face at you and say no. He does it to be funny.

Carter: Vocabulary expanding. Laughs. Thinks things are funny. Says, "Noooo." Likes singing in cars. Thinks Twinkle Twinkle Little Star should be Twinkle Twinkle Big Big Star.

Watching children develop is a fun thing.

Carter is definitely blooming lately into a little boy. Talking is still a bit delayed but getting better daily. It's little things like wiping up messes after he makes them. At the Magic House today he was able to match up shapes. He raised his hand the other day...must have learned it from school....to answer me when we were reading a book. Carter asks where Cole is and likes it when they are together. It's sweet.

Cole is mastering the stairs. He of course is developing rapidly as well. Says, "Bo-ball" when pointing to a baseball shirt. Also says, "What's that?" Follows Carter around. Rides a bike. Points the pantry when hungry. Says, "Daddy!" when Casey gets home. So cute.

It's the little things. :)

The Chickens.

Cole has grown leaps and bounds lately. He's full of life. He talks..."Daddy, Momma, ball, What's that, car" He knows what things are: grapes, brother, outside. He's getting obsessed with bats. Shocker. He loves grapes...all fruit really. He loves his Daddy. He and him have a little thing in the morning when Casey wakes up to go to work. Generally it consists of growling at each other. He will also do the cutest thing and tilt his little head when laughing.

Carter and Cole's relationship has blossomed too. They like each other. They actually play together happily. It's cute. Periodically I will catch them in the car laughing at each other.

Carter starts preschool next week. One day a week. His language is improving greatly. He's thinning out and getting taller.
