-Alex & Will-

 -Alex & Will-

In the last week, I noticed that you have been playing together without fighting (ahem...as much). It is wonderful to see you both playing TOGETHER and creating those brotherly bonds that everyone has been talking about.

The rainy weather and early sunsets have completely eliminated our chance for long walks. So, we make our indoor time fun with painting projects, play dough sculpting and Duplo building. There are also plenty of races around the kitchen island and moments when Elmo has something really important to say.

You insist on peeling your own fruit and like your apples whole (without stickers or stems of course).  Clementine oranges are heaven for you and a half dozen are consumed during every meal.

Alexander...

You are my kind little man with a huge heart. You wake up with a smile and hardly let on that you are experiencing the terrible two's via your brother.

Whenever you hear anything different and loud like a vacuum, truck, etc. you yell 'noise' over and over. Your vocabulary is growing leaps and bounds every day along with your charming ways. The other day I asked you to repeat the word 'please' because I couldn't hear you and you made the extremely exaggerated sign for 'please' instead of just saying the word louder.

William...

My dear sweet boy, the terrible two's have claimed you. You throw fits often and baffle all of us including your brother. The guttural noise you make whenever you are displeased and launching into your latest tirade reminds me of a baby black bear.

Your daily theatrics completely amuse AND impress me.  Currently, your favorite dramedy involves Alex growling during tubby time and scaring you right into my arms.  We both scream and laugh after every lunge Alex makes until we all collapse in a wet hysterical pile.
