Brothers Update

W 37 Months

• officially a Pre-schooler! Started preschool this past week and so far loves it! It was fun to see him making a friend and dancing in the hallway together before class.


• good big brother ie: "You okay Bup?"


• "I'm gonna get you!" The favorite chase game between the two boys. W laughs as he chases Bup around the kitchen & R giggles until he can't run anymore. It's impressive and so sweet how careful and gentle W is with R during their crazy, loud game.


• amazing attention to detail, the not-so-obvious things - looking at a picture of a baby & it's the shoe on a mat in the background that he comments on first


• still loves all things construction, animals, cars, making crafts/art, runnning, jumping, climbing, & freaking his mother out


• NO fear at the pool, will jump in without you there, loves the big red slide


• some new sayings, "What the heck?" (We tell him that we don't say that in our house) and "Oh my goodness! Oh my GOODNESS!"


• loveable & fun...most of all these are the best characteristics

• temper! temper! YELLS when he doesn't want to do something


• loves to play outside...cries if you shut the door before he can escape


• playing chase with his brother

• showing the potential of a good listener...let's hope this stays!
