It looks like Mr C finally has a friend! Of course he has made friends in school and daycare, but this friend is one he can finally really hangout with outside of school and daycare. This friend was on the T-Ball team with him this year, which recently ended and will be in his preschool class in the fall.
His parents had all of us over the other day for dinner and it was very nice to spend time with adults and for Mr C to have someone to play with during that time. Watching them interact is so fun! At one point his friend came running into the living room saying "Announcing the 'Song Singers'!"
Mr C proceeded to follow him into the living room and the two began singing a song that his friend had learned at Bible camp the week before. "Jump, Shout, Give a high five, Jesus is alive!" They continued singing this while dancing, jumping and giving eachother a high five. It was about the most adorable thing ever!
I only hope Mr C learns, remembers and shares similar songs when he goes to Vacation Bible School at the end of July!

Fourth of July!
Well, this year was probably one of the best fourth of July's we have had. I think because Mr C is getting big enough to really appreciate the fun. We spent the day at our local country club swimming in the pool, eating great food and jumping on the fun children's blowup toys.
This year Mr C had a friend to hang out with, which was great for us. We didn't feel as pressured with Little A to play with him every minute we were there. Although he enjoyed our front row seats for the fireworks, his sensory issues related to hearing seemed to really bother him. We had to get ear plugs for him to wear and he still covered his ears with his hands.
Recently, I have been doing a photo contest for kids on my website and I really had to smile when the most recent submission was a picture of a boy with his hands covering his ears at the fireworks. Just like Mr C.
Little A was another story. He fussed a bit at first and I attempted to cover his ears with my hands, but by the middle of the show he was sprawled out in my lap with his hands behind his head watching the fireworks in a very relaxed manner. Surprisingly too, since he had woken up from his nap around 3:15 and hadn't fallen back asleep yet at 10 p.m that night. Too much action going on! I did try, but how do you compete with all the fun things to look at.
Anyways, Hope everyone had a great fourth!!

Spring Highlights
Has it really been March since my last post? Where has the time gone? Life sure is busier with two. I can't believe Little A is about to be 6 months old already. CRAZY!?!? Well, we have been living in the fast lane over the past few months. Returning to work was a transition for me, but we have found a great sitter to watch Little A, so I feel better about the 1-2 days a week I have to spend away from him.
I love that part of my job involves working on my website the Child Behavior Guide because I can easily do so in my spare time while at home with the kiddos. Mr C has certainly been keeping us entertained lately. Some of my favorites...
"Mom, what is poop made of?"
Me - "What are you doing?" (He is staring into space while sitting at the dinner table in front of his food)
Mr C. - "I'm just pretending to watch a movie."
Me - "What movie?"
Mr C - "Um, it's just a movie about me."
Me - "You need to clean your room please."
Mr C - " But mom, I can't cause I'm a penguin and penguin's don't have hands." (as he waddles across the floor)
Little A is getting so big and I can hardly believe it. He just popped his first two bottom teeth and his been a bit fussy, but still pretty darn good despite his pain. Both still seem to be getting along well, but Little A isn't quite getting into his stuff yet, so we will see!
