35 months and 15 months

The boys are starting to play and interact alot more.  I"ve been asking them to hold hands when we cross the street and Kyle really likes to hold Eli's hand and make him mind.  Eli thinks we are playing Ring Around the Rosie (his favorite game other than patty cake and ride the horsie).  We had VBS this last week.  It made me realize alot about Kyle.  He is very busy but has trouble listening and obeying his teachers.  I've decided he is alot like me and likes to test things to see what happens and also needs strong leaders over him.  He will respect and look up to strong leaders, but weak ones he walks all over.  I am the same way.  I had a preschool teacher who everyone thought was mean, but I loved her!
Also Kyle has stopped laying down to take naps with me so we have moved to Rest Time.  It has been better for our relationship and I've thankfully not been too tired not getting in my afternoon nap.  Kyle is still tired but seems to be adjusting.  This is no surprise since he's hated naps since he was born...LOL
He is very excited for his birthday next month.  We are having a Dump Truck birthday and I told him he could pick out a balloon at party city and he's so excited for that.  I love birthday parties!

Eli is talking up a storm.  He has decided that signing is good too.  He says/signs more, all done, thank you, please, sleep. and signs yes.  He says, Momma, Daddy, Bye Bye, hello, poo poo, blankie, binky, Gi Gi, Auntie, cracker, na na and more I'm probably forgetting.  He is cutting all four molars which has been no fun.  He loved the music at VBS and loves to dance on stage and be the center of attention.  He has quite the ornery streak in him too, but obeys when I ask him to do things most times.  He's so cute when I ask him to throw away something he's so proud of himself when he goes and does it.  He is quite the little helper around the house.
