Sunday Six

1. There is nothing quite like a momma's kisses to make everything better, or so the boys think at least. They are always asking me to kiss something or other (I did draw the line at tongue, though). On Thursday, Jason took the idea of healing kisses and created a "Kissing Hospital" so they could make each other's hurts feel better. (I think I just about melted away at the cuteness of it all!)
2. We were teaching the boys how to roll their "r's" Friday night. I am going to recognize Shawn as the person with the cutest "r" roll ever. Seriously. It is adorable. (For the record, his "r's" sound a lot like mine. Only my "r" rolling is decidedly not cute.)
3. The new vocabulary word around these parts is 'similar.' It is too funny to listen to Jason tell his brother (or me as the case may be) how something is 'similar' to other things. It's even funnier to listen to Shawn reply about how interesting what he's saying is. lol. ;)
4. I have finally started to potty train Shawn, and he is doing so well! He isn't 100% yet, but he is getting there (which is a great relief because for the longest time he'd just scream when we even suggested him going on the potty). The one thing he loves to do is sing "We Are Young" by Fun at the top of his lungs. Well, I have to admit that I get to sing, too. (Potty training is a team effort at our house after all.) Unlike Jason, who we bribed with Matchbox cars, Shawn's choice of prize has been a lot easier, too. He simply wants to watch 'Team Umizoomi" episodes. I can now recite verbatim every single show in existence. Lucky me!
5. We've been heading out back to play every afternoon. For the longest time, Jack was sort of anti anything backyard. On Thursday, he decided he can go outside and to play. He even touched that nasty green stuff. Oh, and he likes to try to eat rocks. Yea?
6. Jack's found a new game. He has started building towers and knocking them down. It cracks him up, especially if he knocks over a tower I made. He's such a silly boy!
