Weaning of the Paci and more learning this week!

Will is very much like me in that he doesn't take change well. We are slowly trying to limit the amount of time he gets his "paci" right now. Bed and Crib are it as of now. Well, yesterday he was going through a little withdrawel, so his solution was to steal the lid to his sippy cup from the dishwasher to satisfy his craving. Quite Clever!!
Kate got a fish that she named "Cheryl" for X-Mas this yr. from Aunt Lindsay and Uncle Shane. This is a huge addition (and probably only addition) to our family since Brett is allergic to any animal with hair. How she came up with "Cheryl" we have no idea as there isn't anyone with that unique name in our lives right now. But hey, whatever floats her boat. Anyway, Kate learned how to change Cheryl's water yesterday. She was very concerned about how well she liked swimming in the hawkeye cup. We told her that Cheryl is a big hawkeye fan too just like her so she really liked swimming in the cup!!

One of the best moves we made was adding a 2nd swing to the front tree this month. The kiddos were fighting constantly over who's turn it was. Now they can both swing and watch their friends outside and cars go by without any bickering......so far.

Swinging away!!

Will is too small for the trike yet and really doesn't dig the stroller as much as he did last year. He would much rather be out and about. This make shift Diego Stroller is a savior!! He loves pushing Diego around and Brett is cool with it because he's not pushing around all the other pink strollers and babies that Kate does. And his balance has developed enough that he doesn't fall flat on his face when his weight shifts forward like earlier this year. Go Will!!!

And Finally, Kate is going to kill me some day for this photo, but I couldn't resist. Both of my kids are in love with Dora and Diego. More so Will than Kate, but Kate has all the cool Dora the Explorer underwear. Will is constantly carrying around her Dora underwear yelling "Doe Doe!!" So we got out his new Diego underwear tonight and put it on. He's so tiny that we had to put them on over his PJ's so they would fit. He was so excited and both gladly posed for this picture to show off their cool undies.

Have a Great Weekend Everyone!!
