Two Is Better Than One!!!

I have to say that this past week has been such a joy. Brode has grown up a lot over the past few weeks. He speaks in 5 - 6 word sentences, doesn't whine as much as before, there have been less temper tantrums and is starting to really express himself with words rather than emotion. Why, you ask? Well I believe this change in behavior is due to the weening of the binky. Yes!!! Brode no longer gets a binky. It seems as though the binky kept him a baby and once it was no longer allowed for him, he decided to grow up. 

BUT.... the best part of all this is Brode's interaction with his brother. It seems as though he is really coming into the role of "big-brother". He takes such good care of Graham. Gets Graham toys to play with, sits next to Graham during breakfast, lunch and dinner. Brode tries to help wash Graham while they have baths together. They are starting to really bond. 

There is something so special as a parent to watch your two children bond, get along and take care of each other. This brings so much joy to my day. We are so lucky to have been blessed with not just one but two happy healthy boys.  

Busted!!!!

Late late one night we put Brode to bed after Graham had already been 

asleep for a couple hours. About 15 mins after we put Brode down for bed

we heard a whole heck of a lot of giggling. Brode climbed into Grahams 

bed to play, not sleep. Graham loved this of course. They were so happy

and excited when we went in to separate the two of them.

Kisses!!!

Sweet Brotherly Love.

Grocery Shopping at Albertsons, only because they have the cool

shopping carts with cars. Genius, I must say. Grocery shopping no longer

has to be this ongoing fight with the two of them, because they

are so entertained in their car. PLUS I have the entire basket for 

groceries. Thank you Albertsons and Fred Meyers!!!
