JOSS- 2 1/2 years:
50% sweet and 50% sassy. Maybe more like 45/65. She loves food and her babies. Her attention span is short. She has just started to really like puzzles and movies (for a short time) and is becoming more of a cuddler. She loves being read to but has to be in control of the page turning. She enjoys going to church and especially loves making friends with the people next to us and taking money up to the front. Every time her clothes are getting changed, she can't resist the urge to dance naked. She calls it her "nakey dance" and although we try not to encourage it, it is kind of the greatest thing ever! She can be a bit of a bully. Especially to older kids for some reason.
Some common phrases we hear her say are:
"Are you happy with me?"
"Who is you?" -What she says whenever she sees someone she doesn't know.
"My back is hurtin' I need an adjustment."
"Your pood (food) is ready!"-What she says to Jake on the phone every day when he's on his way home from work.
"I was naughty!" -What she says when I pick her up from daycare.
"But we CAN toot." - What she says when we ask her if she tooted.
JETT- 4 1/2 years:
He is so excited to learn right now. Every day he comes home with so many new projects and Tamra has told us that he just craves anything involving learning so they have been taking full advantage. He is figuring out how to read shorter words and the other night when he was sounding words out with Jake you could tell that a light bulb just switched on and his mind was completely blown. He is excited to go to pre-school next year and talks about how he's going to read to his class. I'm not so sure I'm ready for pre-school next year. Tamra's is all we've known for 4 1/2 years and it will feel like he's really growing up when me make a change next year. He is still my little sweetheart with his compliments and concern for others. I just want him to stay this sweet forever!! I'm having a hard time thinking of specific stories about him right now but in some ways, he almost has adult humor already. He laughs at the same things Jake and I laugh at and says things that are actually seriously funny. He definitely has a love for life and he recently started skipping everywhere. A few weeks ago when we went ice skating the two of us skipped all the way from our car (about three blocks). I feel like he teaches me so much!
