-Lane throws about 2-3 temper tantrums a day - and by that I mean screaming/crying, throwing herself on the floor or sofa, running in another room to pout and cry kind of temper tantrum! And to top it off, it's usually over wanting a particular color juice cup that she didn't get, or not enough juice in the cup or the latest, not enough ice cream in her bowl. It's no surprise the little lady loves food, so it's no surprise that this is what the fits are over!
- Many of you may know that Dutch actually has REALLY good manners - better than most other kids and adults I know! He's always saying please, thank you, you're welcome, etc. The most recent is 'yes sir' and 'yes ma'am'. He still gets a little confused as to when to say them to whom, but he's saying them nonetheless. He also believes we should say 'yes sir' to him all the time, so be sure when you come over to direct that him as well or he may call you out on it. Also, if you're looking for reinforcement, he throws out "great job" about 20x a day!
-Both kids are talking and talking and talking! ALL DAY! I love it, especially since Dutch can be very quiet most of the time and Lane's vocabulary is growing so much! Dutch really likes to talk in the car and laying in bed at night. He'll call you out if you are "hmm"ing him along with his story. He knows/interprets that to mean that you are not really listening to his story and are not talking to him. Smart fellow! At night, I usually have to make him stop talking because some nights I really think he may never fall asleep!
- Lane and Dutch both love their shoes. Lane in particular, likes to wear hers all the time, whereas Dutch likes his "running shoes because they make me really super duper fast." Just yesterday those same running shoes that make him super duper fast caused him to run smack into a corner and split his eyebrow in two.
Some other things: they both have become attached to their blankets so I've just acquired two extras in case something happens to the others, Dutch is OBSESSED with Toy Story and dives on the sofa daily yelling" to infinity and beyond", they both love their daddy and beating him up, Lane loves to dance and "sing" - which is more like humming.
Lane goes today for her well check, so I'll post stats a little later!
