Update on us

It's been a while so I figured I should share something. There's not really anything exciting going on. Time just keeps ticking on by. It's amazing how fast time flies when you have children. Some days I wish time could stand still a little longer so I could enjoy these moments with them a little longer. Before I know it they are going to be 15 years old and want nothing to do with their Mom. But for now I'll take it, I'm pretty cool in their eyes for the time being.

Isaac~ oh what to say about Little Ike. He is a charmer that's for sure. Honestly, there are times that I forget this boy is adopted. Life without this little man in our lives would be awfully boring. There was a time we were worried about Isaac's speech as he wasn't talking very much. Well he's done about a 360 and is talking in sentences. It's not always totally understandable but for the most part I can understand him. He is a social butterfly at daycare. Most mornings as we walk into daycare he opens up the door to the infant room and waves and talks to all the babies. Next he has to stop and talk to Dawn the bus driver. She says his morning talks are something she looks forward to each and every day. He's really growing and maturing. He's not a baby anymore that's for sure. I can even say that he is better behaved. I'm beginning to think the odd years will be the tough ones for us. He was worse at 1 then he is at 2. We started the 123 Magic discipline with him and now I never have to spank him and he doesn't go to time out all that often. He is still obsessed with anything farm related. He enjoys tv and Barney has become a favorite of his. Saturday mornings he gets to watch Bob the Builder and seems to enjoy that and Thomas the Train. Isaac is starting to undress himself more and more. I'm just thankful he hasn't gotten his diaper off yet. I'm sure he would if I let him but I usually get him back into his clothes before he has that chance. Isaac likes to color and do small craft projects. He loves to sing and read books. He is counting to 4 all by himself without any prompting. He is such a snuggly little guy. He loves to be held and cuddled after his naps. He is one of the funniest little boys I know.

Caleb~ this little man is getting to be more like his Mommy every day. He's quiet around new people. He talks a lot at home but out in public he is more reserved and lets his brother do all the talking. I can see this being a trend as they get older. I think Isaac will do all the talking, be the popular "class clown" so to speak and Caleb will be doing all of Isaac's homework. Oh it's fun to joke and wonder how these 2 will turn out. Caleb loves puzzles, he will do them over and over. He is not into tv and will only watch it if I'm there with him. He tends to cling to me in the evenings and just wants his Mommy. He has quite a stubborn streak and I've been told that comes from me. He can be quite the little michevious boy too.

Last weekend we went to Village West and took the boys swimming. It was a good time. Caleb had no fear of the water and went in right away. It took Isaac a little while but once he got used to it he loved it just as much. I forgot the batteries to my camera so no pictures this year of our swimming trip. Hopefully we'll get to do it again in March.

I took some Valentine Day pictures of the boys a few weeks ago and will get those uploaded soon. There's nothing like bribing them with suckers to get a few good shots.
