1. Santa
I think that I should of started reading the Christmas books and started talking about Santa a bit earlier. Cameron who now LOVES the man did not have fun when we went for a visit yesterday morning. My mom met us at the mall and took these great pictures. The last picture is the one we purchased. I took a picture of it with my cell phone. (Way quicker than scanning!!) And this was $17. One 5x7. $17.
2. Cameron's new smile
I am extremely grateful that the boys are actually looking into the camera (at times) when I ask. They will also give a smile (at times). Cameron is doing this great thing where he is shutting is eyes so he can barely see. Sometimes he shuts them all the way. It makes me laugh out loud everytime and then give him a kiss. This kid is so freaking cute. Anyways, here is one of the smiles while we were at my parents house. They were not allowed to eat the Gogurt on the carpet. This was their solution.

I also added so more pictures of the MUCH loved grandparents. I am just so grateful for their love and support.
3. The pose
I made the boys sit with the sock monkeys again. I tried to find the ORIGINAL picture with the boys and the monkeys. It took me to long to scroll through all the old posts so....sorry...you are just stuck with these!

Here is another picture of Cameron. Just LOVE his new smile. He was coloring during nap time. Oh, and he knows all of his colors.
3. Not potty training yet
I have two books in my possesion from the library, I purchased two identical potties for Christmas, and I even purchased an Elmo book that makes noises all about the potty. Quick forwarning...this is a long story. I decided to give the boys potty stuff for Christmas. They don't need much so this was the idea. The stuff is already wrapped. Well last night we were playing in the toy room and Owen got a panicked look on his face and said, "poop. poop?" He confirmed that he was pooping and wanted to go to the big boy potty. He ran is little butt there and we got on. Now a few things...he had already gone in his diaper. AND the last time I asked if he wanted to go to the "big boy potty" he said no with a terrified look on his face. Back to the story...we got him up there, put the stool under his feet, and he tried to poop some more. He then let me wipe him with toliet paper, flushed the toliet, and washed his hands. He was on top of the world and I am a proud mom.
This is him asking for a pacifer.
So last night I decided if he was interested again in the morning we would unwrap the potties and have at it. I really do not want to try for a few more months but if he is ready...he is ready. Good news. He had no interest today. I asked a couple of times, he pooped in his diaper, he never mentioned it again, AND the Christmas presents are still wrapped.

4. They watch TV
I have no idea what happened but something happened. They are now watching TV. Holy moly...I know. I actually turn the TV off. Yes. Someone gave them some type of TV pill. That or they LOVE Chip and Dale.

5. Communication
I am sure that I have blogged about this before. I have been waiting and waiting for the boys to start communicating more. Those days have come. I say, "use your words," and they do. They say the things that they see, they repeat everything, and they learn more words every day. "Mine" is a favorite out of Owen's mouth. That boys claims EVERYTHING.
