genius

Roman amazes me. Today I watched him take a cup from the kitchen table...then bring it to the water cooler and try to fill it up!!

He is such a problem solver too. Very cool watching his little brain at work.

When Jack is figuring something out, he touches everything and fiddles. Roman will just look and look until he's figured it out.

They are both very clever.

Ah, breakfest in bed...

All days should begin with breakfast in bed. Really, it was so nice to roll over and see my huz standing with a plate full of food for me and a cup of tea!
After tea and a bit of reading, it was time to get out of bed...and the boys were so happy to see me!

Everyone was in a great mood today!!

Today zoomed by. We did a little re-organizing (again) and now the boys have a nice little area with their toys and a TV. Jack is so excited to have a VCR player, hahaha! He watched some "soo-kee doo" (scoobie doo) before dinner.

We also played freeze tag and took some time to blow bubbles which Roman thought was hilarious.

Oh yes, and I must mention...

Our home is now soother free!!!

Yesterday Jack decided to throw his soothers in the garbage! He had decided he wanted to wash them but Jacob told him they were too dirty and maybe it would be best just to throw them out.

I was so worried about traumatizing Jack when the time came to ditch the soother but wow- this was way easier than anticipated. Last night and tonight he asked for it and we just reminded him that it was gone and that's that!!!

Yay!

(Roman stopped using a soother around the time he learned to roll over and I was really glad!!)

The Sun!

I missed the sun!!!

It's so nice to have the curtains up, the WINDOWS OPEN and the sun shining inside. The boys and I just sat in the window this morning for a bit. Lovely lovely, sun!!

Yesterday I took the boys for a walk...Jack LOVES pushing Roman in his umbrella stroller. I hope we can do lots of stuff outside. Now if only the lawn would dry....our lawn is half snow and half deep mud. Jack loves to play in it but Roman is so cautious especially now that he is walking to really enjoy it.

Roman is so funny when he walks. You'd think he'd been doing it for months. He rarely falls, he catches his balance. He's only walking 5-10 steps right now but I think SOON he won't be crawling at all. He's so sturdy!

Whistle

Jack has been trying to whistle. It's too funny. He puts two fingers on his lips then screeches as high as he can.

Roman can totally walk. We saw him do it...but he won't do it if he thinks we are watching.

Jack wants me to make cookies! He asked a few times yesterday and it was the first thing he asked me this morning, so I guess we are baking later!
