Updates

So I thought I should write some updates about the boys and what they do and like and don't like, etc. so we'll have it when they are grown up.

Rexford is doing well in preschool. His writing has improved so much and he does it so much faster and it's easier for him. He even does a journal at school and he sounds out words and tries to write them. He is still nervous about where to cut with scissors sometimes. He likes math and he can count to 100 by ones and tens. He is doing addition problems and he loves to show us his work. He is starting to like drawing and coloring more and often draws pictures of our family. He likes to play video games-Mario Kart at our house and Lego Star Wars at Papa's house. I have to turn Mario Kart off sometimes because he gets angry and emotional if he's not winning and he's trying to unlock a new cart or something. His new favorite show on TV is Wild Kratts (it's about animals and rescuing them-real life/cartoon combo). He has taken an interest in basketball and likes to play at school when they play inside and he likes to play at Papa's house. Even with the big ball and real hoop he can make some shots! He is a sweet older cousin-he loves Matthew and Anderson and they love him. Matthew always gets excited when he sees Rexford. He is sweet to Austin most of the time but they do have their little fights sometimes. He is a very loving child and always gives us hugs and kisses and tells us he loves us. He likes us to do things with him and spend time with him. He is very sensitive and gets very embarassed and upset when he gets in trouble. He likes to help Daddy outside and ride his bike.

Austin is growing so quickly lately. It seems like he is so much older these past few weeks. He talks so much and so well and can say just about anything he wants. He is more assertive and gets upset when people touch him (on accident or on purpose) and will shout, "Don't touch me!" or "Don't take my toy!" He can tell me what happened when he gets hurt and can tell me where he left something when we are looking for it. Whenever he falls down, he usually gets up and says, "I'm ok Mom." He loves Toy Story and wants to watch the movies all the time. He plays and sleeps with his little Buzz and Woody. He says "to infinity and beyond!" many times a day and always stretches out his arms when he says it. He does it on the carousel at Sea World, riding in a cart at the store, and running through the house or at the park. He thinks he's Buzz Lightyear :) He also likes to say "I am Buzz Lightyear, I come in peace." He likes to listen to Toy Story songs on my ipod. He loves to color and paint and play with playdoh and chalk. He is starting to want to write his name. He asks me to help him and he loves doing it over and over. He plays well by himself and will sit and talk and play but sometimes will ask me to come play with him. It is sometimes hard to get him to eat sometimes. He likes pasta, fruit, and cheese. He is often shy around people and if they try to talk to him he will close his eyes and turn or bury his head. But sometimes he is very outgoing, just depends on his mood I guess :) He copies everything Rexford does and wants to be just like him. He doesn't like his hands messy or getting wet when he's in regular clothes. He always asks me to wipe his hands and he hates it when I spray his hair in the morning to comb it. He is sweet and says, " I love you too mom" and gives me hugs.

They are growing up so fast! We love Rexford and Austin!
