Cottage Cheese & Spoon

Jackson has insisted that he feed himself 100% of the time...which makes for very messy mealtimes. He loves to use his spoon and is pretty good at maneuvering it.

30 Months...aka 2 1/2!

Rhonen is now a big boy 2 1/2! He growing and changing so much each day. Here is a list of recent accomplishments:

-He can sing songs and sometimes he makes up his own words.
-He is a great climber, often going to the top of the play structures by himself. He can even climb the pretend rock wall at the playground!
-He decided that he wanted to sleep in his big boy bed and has done so successfully.
-He is starting the potty training 1st steps...he even went in his potty for the first time!
-He is a great brother! Lately he takes Jackson's hand  and tells him what they are going to look for..."Come on Jack Jack, let's go see mama" is what I heard this morning. He is very loving and and kind with Jackson
-He can draw straight lines.
-He can almost always find the moon in the sky, day or night.
-He carries on conversations at the park with other children and adults.
-He can pour his milk over the cereal, with supervision of course.

These are just a few of the wonderful things we get to be a part of each day! What a wonderful child he is :)

The Reading Chair

This is our reading chair...that is now a new "nap" chair :) Rhonen is now sleeping in his toddler bed but he sometimes falls  asleep here after a good book.

Halloween 2011

This year for Halloween Rhonen was a pirate and Jack was a cute clown. Mommy was a kitty and Daddy was "Bubbles", TV character. Rhonen was not too thrilled to dress up but quickly caught on to the trick-or-treat protocol. And Jackson was right behind brother, ready to collect treats in his bucket. I must say that holidays truly take on a new found glory when  you have children to share them with!
