Playing catch up

Hey everyone!!

   Obviously I am having some difficulty staying on top of our blog and I am so sorry!  When the kiddos were smaller and stayed in one place this seemed so much easier and now when they are awake they are everywhere and when they are sleeping I am buried in laundry, dishes, organizing or just trying to spend some quality time with my hubby!  So in this post I am going to play catch up and tell you a little bit of where we are now!  The kiddos are 2 1/2 and oh so much fun!! They are definitely testing their limits and even though daddy and I know its normal it can be very frustrating especially times 3, however with consistent discipline I know we can make it through! Lets chat about the Kiddos!!

About Benjamin:
   Benjamin is a shy and quiet little guy around everyone except family and friends, he is coming out of his shell more and more everyday! Ben is most definetely a Daddy's boy.  He loves his "Noni" (blanket) and won't come downstairs without it, he does not hang on to it all day but for some reason it needs to be downstairs.  His favorite toys are trucks, ariplanes, dinosaurs and trains. He likes to line up his toys in a certain order and we are not sure if it is on pourpose but he makes patterns with the colors too! Ben can recognize 3 letters when they are shown to him and he can count to 3. We are working on his attention span with learning because of course he would much rather be playing!

About Blake:
   Blake is a bundle of wild energy that is not contained, he waves to anyone and everyone and is definetly a people person.  Blake is a mama and daddy's boy!  He still loves his "Noni" but again like ben he soes not have it all the time but does stop now and then and has a snuggle with it on the couch.  His favorite toys are trucks, helicopter's, cars, boats, princesses's and he loves to play dress up with Brooklynn.  He is like a little tornado in the playroom and goes from one thing to the next to the next!  Blake can recognize 5-6 letters when shown to him and can count to 6 missing only one number.  Like Ben his attention span is a bit short (Little boys!!) but we are working on it!

About Brooklynn:
   Brooklynn is a sweet little princess and she is definetley all girl!  She is shy but at the same time a ball of energy and seems to draw people in.  She is a mama's girl by far!  Brookie has no attachments except her nighttime routine, there are several things she does before bed and if not done she gets upset.  Her favorite toys are baby's, dress-up, princesses, purse's, dinosaurs and cars.  Brooklynn can recognize 6 letters when shown to her and she can count to 11 missing only 1 number (usually 8).  She has a great attention span when it comes to learning, probably gets it from her dad! =) 

Well there is your catch up and here are some pictures!!
