Little Tar Heel

By
As you've read in previous posts, I'm working to get the boys sleeping in the same room together. So far, it's going ok. Nights are better than naps, but we're getting there.

Tonight, Spence went down around 7:15 and Jack went into the room around 8:10. Even though we were super quiet, Spence sat up in bed as soon as Jack and I entered the room. I'm thinking, great - both boys are awake - it could take forever for them to get back to sleep. Jack started talking and singing. Spencer was responding as well as laying back down in his crib (he's was clearly very tired). Justin and I went in a couple of times trying to Jack to lower the volume and really stop talking altogether. After about 20 minutes, I went in again and asked Jack to be quiet. Within a minute of my leaving, he's talking and Spence is starting up with his loud "wah wah wah". (it's not crying, just a sound). I realize that Jack isn't just talking, but has picked up Spencer's "wah wah wah"'s and turned them into "rah rah rah"'s. He's singing "rah rah Carolina".

I just had to smile. We may have a little Tar Heel on our hands after all!

Spencer Time

A few recent pictures of Spencer. He is growing like crazy and picking up all sorts of new skills like grabbing toys on the playmat, grabbing blankets or clothes and shoving them in his mouth, and his new favorite pastime, putting his feet in his mouth (with or without socks!).     Learning all the tricks on his first flight. We lucked out and got an extra seat for his carseat (ok, I lucked out, but still...)  Sleepy times with Grandma    Enjoying a new toy!   Such a big boy

This weekend, the t-ball team was short a few players. Spencer was called up from the practice team to fill in. He was one of the smallest on the field, but played well, even teaming up with Jack for an out!

Growing up

By
Jack and Spence "graduated" from their respective preschool programs in the last couple of weeks. While the road along the way wasn't always the smoothest, the outcome couldn't be better. At Spencer's 2s club event, the kids demonstrated all the new skills they had learned in the gym. Lots of forward rolls, big jumps on the trampoline, and amazing core strength. The kids then enjoyed their favorite book of the year: mean soup. Afterward each child received an award. Spencer followed Jack's footsteps on this part by refusing to go up to accept the award. Regardless, we were so proud of Spence. He loved having his independence, being involved in a class, making new friends, and just having fun. Next year Spence starts preschool at the Y. Jack's tender care graduation was last friday. The event was held in the Little Theater at the Y. Jack was so excited to be on the stage. The class sang several songs ending with what has to be the anthem of kids 3...
