Sunday routine

We started a Sunday routine of going to church and then having brunch. We've gone to The Walnut Cafe a couple of times and Kate loves it, mostly because I let her have chocolate milk. Both kids are enjoying going to church, Kate loves learning and playing with all the girls in her class. I love the family time that we are able to have.

Monkey see, monkey do

That is pretty much how we describe Brody these days. Whatever Kate does, Brody tries it. On the days when I don't wash Kate's hair I will put them in my shower and put a shower cap on Kate. Now, every time Kate has it on Brody wants to wear one as well. He also has favorite people at certain times. He will go through phases where he says, "No, sister do it" or "No, daddy do it". If I don't listen and get/do it myself he has a meltdown. Literally, starts crying and then falls to the floor. Most of the time I ignore it but there have been a few times where he gets spanked and is put in time out. It seems every few months he gets the terrible two's and just throws fits for no reason. Hopefully, they disappear very soon.
He is doing great at singing songs and the ABC's, counting and is doing great in swim lessons. I love when he says "family hug" and when you ask him what his name is he says "I Brody".

Valentine's Day Party

Kate and Brody had a Valentine's Day party at school and for two weeks was all that she talked about. She was so excited to hand out her cards. Brody was excited to get Lighting McQueen cards and carried them around all day saying "Look, Lighting McQueen". Kate came home with very few candies which made me happy.




Brody wouldn't take the picture unless he could wear Kate's hat.
