Time for an Update

It's been awhile since I wrote just about the boys, so for my journal/history sake, here's what the boys are up to:

LUKAS

Lukas is 3 1/2. He has just grown up over night! He is potty trained (finally). He talks and talks and talks. He is a bit sassy (aka "back-talker") and has his own idea of how he wants things done. He doesn't throw as many tantrums as I remember when he was 2. He loves playing on the computer and can do it all by himself. He loves watching Noggin and movies. He has endless energy. He runs over to Tommy's house at least once a day to see if he can play and we'd live in the pool if I'd say it was OK. Lukas likes to have things picked up and will straighten his toy room when I ask him to. He gets really hyper when his friends or cousins are around and it's hard to settle him down. He is still not the best eater, he loves milk and would still suck on a binkie if I let him (grrrr!). He amazes me everyday by the things he says or does. He is smart and growing so much. He always wants me to see how tall he is or measure him.

MAX

Max is 19 months. He toddles around, slapping his feet on the floor when he walks through the house. He says a lot of words and recognizes so many things. He likes to be held (especially by me when there is work to be done) and doesn't want to leave my sight. He has a special relationship with my dad (Papa) and immediately when he sees him, he'll go right to him. He won't do that with anyone else. He gets into everything and FAST! He falls a lot and gets hurt a lot, but is pretty tough and sometimes won't even cry. He is stubborn and wants what he wants, but is easily distracted. He likes what his brother likes...Buzz, Lighning McQueen and he really loves dinosaurs. He says, "di-saur" and then roars like one whenever he sees a picture of one. Max is fearless. When we're at the playground, he'll climb up high to get to the slide and then go down all by himself. He will run right into the street as soon as I let him outside!!! I have to have my eye on him at all times.

They both love popsicles, the playground and water. If there is any kind of water or puddle outside, they are both sucked to it like a magnet.
