That...

'That' is Ryan's favorite word right now...add that to 'more', 'no', 'Buzz', 'Pooh', 'bite', and more....he is developing a real vocabulary. He is going into the phase where he tries to repeat every word we say, so he is picking up (and remembering) a lot of words even though his prononunciation is off a bit. He is even using a couple of words together at a time. It is just too cute!

Ethan is doing well...loves playing outside, and is very active - he is a little boy after all. The other day, he told me that he is all done being 3 and wants to be 4 now - what he really wants is a birthday party and the list of gifts that he is collecting in his mind. He knows how to spell his name and Ryan's (not in writing yet though) and knows his birthday...we are working on his phone number. He does memorize books though and then 'reads' them to himself...and if it is a new book, sometimes he just makes up a story.

They are the most precious, loving boys ever, especially when they are asleep or alone - together, mostly they are little terrors - they know each other's buttons and push them often (every other second)...and are very physical with each other. But they have their moments - Ethan tries to mimic us and teach Ryan words - he also looks out for him and asks for things that he knows he might want and speaks for him to other people.
