Owen- Owen is now 5. He turned 5 in December and like any great 5 year old, he got his law degree. Well not really, but he has turned into a pretty good defence lawyer. Not only does he defend himself, but he turns on his fancy routine for his brother. No idea where he gets it from (ok, maybe he gets a lil' bit of it from his mama).... What else does 5 look like? He's growing like a weed, his whole life he has had this growth routine, the skin and bones kid chunks up (mostly in the face) and we think, yay! he's finally gaining weight! (he JUST turned 40lbs in February, most of his friends have been over 40 lbs for about 2 years now), but nope, about a week later he's all skin and bones again, cause he's grown an inch or two.
5 so far has been super fun, gone are the majority of tantrums and crying for no reason. He understands why we do things and is able to reason (to a point), he is fun, goofy but very bashful (would rather die than be caught looking silly or goofy). He loves his "special days" in Kindergarten and even wanted to bring his brother for his show and tell a few weeks ago. He is doing very well in Kindergarten, at the top of his class for knowing his letters and sounds, he is also starting to read. Chris is amazing with him in teaching him to read, it amazes me every day!
Griffin- Griff is now 3. 3 is looking very different for Griff than it did for Owen, but that's not surprising, 2 was very different too. 2, the terrible twos, Griffin was the sweetest two year old you could ask for. He was pleasant, loving, cuddly and oh so cute. He was so easy going, temper tantrums were RARE! Two was cute as a freaking long, curly blonde haired button!
Griff turned 3 on February 9th, THIS is what 3 looks like:
I have no idea where my sweet baby boy went. Wait, that's not fair, he's still here, but now he is mixed with a whole lotta stubborn. When the child doesn't get his way, expect stomping feet, arm crossing, hitting walls and slamming doors. Yeah, it's fun. As much fun as that sounds, he really generally is still such a sweet boy who loves to laugh, tease and dance. He's got some great moves, he's in a disco phase right now. His favorite song is "Sexy and I know it" I'm a little embarrassed that he knows all the words....also a little embarrassing, his love to "wiggle my bum at you!" Yeah, that's a fun one in public, at least he's wearing clothes when he does it there, it's a nudie bum at home....
It's really hard not to laugh at this 3 foot 3 jack ass sometimes though. I know he's just trying to become his own person and he has a whole lot of his mama in there, Owen and I get along great, he and his dad clash, Griffin must have more me in him, he and Chris get on great, but he and I clash.
Oh, and the speech I was worried about, yeah, he definitely got his dad's talking gene! The kid never shuts up!
Here is really what 3 looks like for Griff:
