A quick video of Thomas helping John launch his rocket.

A few cute sayings:

I usually ask the boys if they slept well when they get up in the morning and now Thomas is beating me to it by announcing "I slept well". He does this pretty near every morning now.

I also tell the boys when they get hurt, you're okay! In other words stop crying, you are going to live. Last week, Thomas was taking me to show me something and he tripped. He came up crying and looked at me. He said before I could "I'm okay!" then he got up blinking away his tears. Generally speaking, they are pretty sturdy little boys.

Thomas' new expression is "sure!". Instead of yup or yes, he agrees to things with a cute little "sure". Little copy cats. I know I say sure. I also say "nice!" when they get something to work which I just noticed Thomas saying last night when he was helping me with dinner.

Nathan is not as far along in his speech or maybe his speech is a little slurred so I have problems understanding him. He repeats what has been said like I'll say the dog is outside and he'll look at me and say the dog is outside, right mommy?

Another new thing this fall and winter is that with colds I get Mommy, my nose is running! I'm trying to at least get them to get a tissue but so far all I get is a runny little nose under my elbow! It definitely annoys them to have runny noses.

We've started another session of ice skating now through March. They definitely seem to enjoy it although the coach they've had from the start is moving on to nursing school so we hope the new coach will be as good.
