Feeding time

So I leave the room to grab my phone and this is the scene I returned to. Apparently, RA took it upon himself to feed Ry!

First time at the pool

So I took the boys to my aunt's pool today and they had a blast. They are both water babies and loved every second of it. Cant  wait to start swim lessons.

Brother bonding

My favorite thing to do these days is to watch the boys play side by side. More than anything I want them to be great friends. For the most part they seem to like each other. RA is very bossy but Ry is a willong follower so far and gets so excited to be with his brother. I feel encouraged every time I watch them actively try to interact with each other.

Too much TV?

So RA is at the point where he now likes to watch TV. He is only allowed to watch Nick Jr because its all educational shows and no commercials. I am alarmed about the zombie-like trance he gets when watching tv but I console myself that its okay bcuz its interactive and educational and I always watch with him.

He is getting to the point where he gets upset when you turn his show off but do only show interest in certain shows. There are times where he turns the TV off so he can play. Ry is into tv too in a way that RA never was at that age. I have decided to set boundaries about TV watching but haven't figured it out yet.

He doesn't seem to have a fav character but he loves any show with music. He sings along to all the theme songs and seem to know exactly when the show is ending. He starts waving bye bye. Fav shows: Yo Gabba Gabba, Fresh Beats Band, Wonder Pets.

Say sorry

After RA intentionally hits Ry in the face, I say "RA give Ry a hug and tell him you are sorry." His response: he pats Ry on the head and says "You okay!"  Not quite what I was looking for...poor Ry!

Obsession with poop

I can't believe how excited I am to see poop in the potty! Today I removed RA pull up and found out he peed in his pullup instead of using potty. I am discouraged as usual. I start preparing his morning milk and he just walks off sans pants. I think nothing of it but later as I am walking down the hallway, I smell poop. I look everywhere but the potty. I am already gearing myself up to be annoyed to have to clean up poop. Imagine my surprise that there was actually poop in the potty. He actually took it upon himself to go on his own....yeah! A grown woman should not be this happy to see poop in a potty but this is my life. It's better than cleaning up poop from the tile, mat, and bathtub because he refuse to sit on the potty as was my experience last week.

Morning Routine

Every morning RA gets up first and waits for Ry to wake up. As soon as Ry is awake, he says 'up?' and I put him in the crib and leave them to play. It's so funny to listen to their convos!



ETA: What's not being captured in this picture is that RA has no pull-up on! He didnt want to put on a pull-up after he pottied this morning so I let him roam free.  I had to cut that out the picture because I didn't want someone to think this was kiddie porn...LOL! 

You boo-boo?

As I am walking out the bathroom, Ray Allan peeks his head around the  corner and says "Hi, you boo-boo?". Yes Ray Allan, mommy boo-boo. If only you would take an interest in your own boo-boo! (boo-boo means poop in our house)
