Jake has the nap time blues!
He is always trying to get out of taking a nap, but then after a 1/2 hour of playing in his room alone he is out cold. We are very lucky that he never attempts to escape his room. I hope that continues, but once he is potty trained we will have to let him open the door to get the the potty.
"I'm mad." Jake is really into telling you how he is feeling. Especially if he is mad, angry or sad....as if the crying and dragging of feet wasn't a give away to his mood.
I really think there is no such thing as the terrible twos. Jake was an EASY 2 year old and Abbie really isn't bad either (the twos are just around the corner for her). I think it should be called the Busy Twos and Challenging Threes. He loves to challenge us on just about everything....eating, sitting still, keeping on his coat, any basic request. As far a 3 year olds go he isn't awful, it just requires more parenting and lots of follow through. There is an upside to 3 and that is he can tell you what hurts when he is sick, imaginary play,better books to read (they have a plot now), he is funny/silly, he can almost dress himself, cleans up well, and gives real good hugs.....there are more these are just some of my favorites.
AS for Abbie she loves a good old fashion game of Peek A Boo.
Peek A....BOO!
Our lives are a little more drama filled with a little girl. She hates the snow and any kind of uneven flooring. We were at the zoo today (it is 50 out today) and she wouldn't let me put her down on any bumpy or rocky kind of ground. She also is more quick to get her feelings hurt and go off crying. But she is a busy, chatty little girl! Her vocabulary is HUGE! I can't believe the things she says sometimes such as ambulance, my turn, mine, broccoli, etc. She will be texting her little boyfriend next door very soon.
Who me?

Oh, how cute! I love hearing the low-down on these two cuties. Makes me look forward to Sam's toddler years!
I can't see Jake being anything but a good little boy, I am his biggest fan. And I love how Abby doesn't like uneven ground, How funny. What a great day to go to the zoo.
Nicole I'll have to run that "Jake's biggest fan" comment by Ruby and Paige. They seem to be heading up the Jake fan club in his preschool class. Can you believe these little crushes start at 3??
Crushes at 3!!! Geez! I already told my boys, no girls until they are 30!!! Haha! J.K. They are just such momma boys right now and I love it! It is good to know about the upcoming ages! I'm sure as soon as my boys are on the move, I'll have to be a lot more clever (if that is possible)! It gives me hope that they get better at hugging later on though:p I love the peek a boo pics of Abbie, btw!
