Chuck will be deploying for 5 months. The boys don't have a clue, but I'm freaking out. Five months of being a single mom doesn't sound ideal, but that's life and I will put on my big girl panty's. So that's what's happening in our life, now on to the fun stuff.
The boys are growing so fast! They learn 10 new words a day these days and are stringing 3-5 words into a sentence. They know most of their colors, they will say Yellow and point at something Blue. I figure know the words is great and linking them to the exact color will come.
It is really funny to see how twins learn. On Saturday Paddy woke up grumpy and was laying on the floor crying. Not throwing a fit or anything just upset he had to wake up I guess. So Chuck, trying to make him feel better, asked if he wanted to watch Ralph or Nemo. Keegan, who has been observing this exchange, lays on the ground and throws a pretend fit and says Ralph.... It was so funny we just laughed at him. See what we are teaching our children. These darn kids learn so much form observing our interactions with the other one. We have to watch ourselves.
We took some photos with our friend Lisa from Black Cat Photography this past weekend so we can have some good photo evidence of how much the boys have grown while chuck is gone. I will post some of those below for your looking pleasure. That's what you really want anyway.
We were singing Head shoulders knees and toes, with the second verse of eyes and ears, mouth and Nose.... So the extra hand gestures go with that!
Peek-a-boo
We started Little Kickers in March. The boys are really enjoying it. Paddy is more of the kind of kid who has good skills, but chooses when to use them. Keegan on the other hand is very athletic and loves to show off. He is usually the first to 'win' the race.
The other thing they have recently been introduced to is the park. They LOVE the park. They love swings, sides, and bridges. They are so much fun to watch as they run around the park from one toy to the next.
Good bye for now, I will do my best to keep this updated as Chuck is gone. Thank goodness for family, friends and good helpers! Otherwise I'm pretty sure I wouldn't make it thru this delpoyment.
