It seems that time has just flown by, the boys are getting so big and life doesn't seem to be slowing down at all. Brandon is wearing boys size 4 clothes, size 13 shoe (which he has almost outgrown), and loves his big-boy bed. We still haven't picked a theme for his big-boy bed but we are leaning toward Cars, he still loves to watch that movie.
He can recite the ABC's, can count to seventeen when he wants, and is getting better about recognizing letters. He understands the concepts of sizes, order of things, more vs less, and is working on tracing. I sometimes have a hard time getting him interested in learning new things (tracing for example) but have been using the Kumon type workbooks to help our process at home. He doesn't seem to have any interest in learning to read but perphaps that is related to his age because he does love being read to. I hope when we get him into preschool next fall he will be right on track.
Mason is getting more conversational. He has a large vocabulary, is using three to four word sentences, responds appropriately to questions, and has quite a few catch-phrases ("I got it!", "Shoes on, I walk!", "No, no Jakey!"). He is able to undress himself, consistently uses the big boy potty before bath-time (he takes off his shorts and diaper, moves the stool in front of the potty, opens the lid, and does his business, then gives us a BIG smile!), and loves to play with Legos, Play-Doh, and do anything "Bandon" is doing!
We are working on learning colors and shapes, not using crayons on the walls, and weaning off the pacifier.
Brushing his teeth is still a challenge, usually I have to hold him down to get the job done, but this to shall pass...eventually.
