Well 18 months has been like expected....decreased appetite and the start of temper tantrums, but also lots of new words and sweet kisses and hugs! Kate has been saying brother for some time, but Wright will now respond with either sisr (sister) or ate (kate). He also refers to himself as ight (Wright) and points to his chest. They repeat almost anything and can name items in their books or sounds they hear like airplane or goose. Kate likes to sing and they both love to dance. We have started to watch either Sesame Street or Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and they LOVE to dance to MM theme song, Kate runs to the TV and starts moving her hands and they both stomp their feet. Then they both lose interest until the end of the show when the music starts again. They also enjoy dancing to the music that Kate's teacup plays...more stomps, claps and big grins!
This past weekend we laid low because Wright and Will were not feeling well. It turns out that we now all have a bad cold and Kate and Wright are on an antibiotic. Their little coughs are so bad and I wish I could show them how to clear their throats, but hopefully we are on the mend. So with the boys not feeling great Saturday, Kate and I packed up and headed to the farmers market downtown! We had a great time just the two of us! She loves to people watch and enjoyed looking at all the vendors and trying fun foods. She had a pickle, carrot and ginger soup and almost went into the jump castle. She pointed to it and fortunately one was empty so I was going to let her try, but she was not ready for the solo trip in...maybe next time! She did enjoy the music! We also went out with the Manheimer's Sunday afternoon on their boat! Kate and Wright had not been since last summer and we weren't sure what they would think, but they both loved it! Wright was able to drive with daddy and Kate enjoyed sitting in the front feeling the wind. They also played in the sprinkler in the back yard and the baby pool. Fun times!
Wright playing at the park...gotcha!
Washing Kate's hair
They say, "nite nite" and give kisses...one of the sweetest things they do together!
They are constantly laughing at each other and "talk"
Driving the boat with Daddy
Kate was feeling great Saturday so while Wright took a longer nap she had Mommy and Daddy's full attention! We filled the baby pool and put it under her slide. She had a great time sliding into her pool! She is not afraid to try new things!
