To My Oldest,Today is your 5th birthday. It's hard to believe that you are now 5. Over the past year you have grown so much! You have increased your self-esteem tremendously and are becoming independent (even made your own peanut butter & jelly sandwich yesterday!). You are so kind and loving. In the evenings before bedtime, you even enjoy cuddling on the couch with Mommy while watching a little TV! You enjoy doing things for your little brother and helping out. We are starting to prepare you for this next year as you are very into having a schedule. You signed up for Kindergarten a few weeks ago and in just over a week you and Mommy will be in a summer bowling league. You have a lot of friends and have had many "girlfriends" this past year. You can write your letters and your name. You enjoy reading books and building with Legos or blocks.Mommy and Daddy are looking forward to watching you grow and seeing you experience new things over the next year. We love you!Love,Mommy
To My Littlest,Today is your 2nd birthday. I have found every moment with you to be an adventure and I know that we will be expecting more adventures as you get bigger. You are a wonderful little boy and are very good at making sure everyone knows what you feel you are entitled to! You have really increased your vocabulary recently and will now try to talk over your brother and answer for yourself. You are very independent and enjoy climbing, running, and jumping. You have even started talking about using the potty! This makes Mommy very excited! You have become much more interested in books recently and love it when Daddy reads Goodnight Moon to you before bed. I think your most favorite thing to do is to play outside with a ball or be chased by Mommy or Daddy. You have gotten so big (even if you are a little small for your age) and are very "tough." I love you very much and have enjoyed watching you grow from a baby to a little boy. I am anxious to see what other changes you encounter over the next year! Happy Birthday!
There have been a couple of firsts in this house the past couple weeks. On March 27, we took the entire family to see a movie. It was the first time Thing 2 had been to a movie in the theater. We decided to see How To Train Your Dragon. Excellent movie, by the way! Thing 2 did extremely well. Before we went into the movie, The Mr. and I were discussing which one of us would leave the movie with Thing 2 if he became loud and rambunctious. We were both being overly polite as we both said we would leave the movie if needed. Luckily, the only time we had to leave the movie was to take Thing 1 to the bathroom and change Thing 2's diaper! As long as Thing 2 had full access to the popcorn, he was fine. He ate a piece at a time and drank the water we brought with us. He really seemed to enjoy the movie and would point at the dragons as they came across the screen. The movie did become a favorite in our house and everyone talked about purchasing it once it's released on DVD.The next first that we encountered occurred yesterday. We took Thing 1 to sign up for kindergarten! It wasn't an emotional experience as I thought it might be. Mostly we just filled out paperwork. We only have one piece of paperwork left to bring before Thing 1 starts school in the fall and that is to prove that he has had a physical. (His annual check-up is at the end of the month.) We will be attending some sort of open house at the end of May so that we can learn about the kindergarten class and Thing 1 can see his new school. Very exciting! I am a little nervous and feel there should be a support group for parents of children who are about to enter kindergarten. I believe the kids will be fine, it's the parents who need some support!I am sure we will have many more interesting things to discuss, with the boys birthdays this month and Thing 1 starting school in the fall.
