There's always so much I want to write about the kids. But at the end of the day, I'm usually so tired I just don't. I can't believe Jonathan is almost two years old. And then I see what a big, strong, beautiful boy he is, and I wonder that he was ever a tiny infant. He seems to have come fully made as himself. Right now he loves garbage truck videos on Youtube and playing Recycling truck with cups full of other toys he dumps into the truck. He calls them "dump trucks." He also loves going for walks and touching "numbers" on houses. He knows 1-10 and 100. He also has the concept of counting and numbers because he understands asking for two candies is more than one, and asking for three is even better. He loves his mommy too. He says "hold you" and reaches up his arms to me a lot. He also likes to play "green piggy" where he pretends to feed the squeaky pig plastic Easter eggs. Then he tries to put them on the pig's nose, which the pig doesn't like. That's fun. Today it was nice here, so we spent a lot of time outside. He liked running and kicking through the leaves in the front yard. Jonathan is my big amazing kid.
Alaura is my sweet princess. I never much liked calling little girls princesses, especially when it seems to designate a whiny, spoiled type. But she is a princess in terms of her kindness to mom and dad. She smiles so sweetly. The other day it just made me cry she looked so beautiful, gentle, and loving. She got her 2 month shots today. She is handling it well, but needs some comfort from mom. So, off I go now to my girl. P.S. She is up to 13.2 lbs. and 23.25 inches and 40.2 cm head circumference. So growing well.
