What they are up to these days....

It is so incredible to see Parker and Sydney developing such a strong brother/sister relationship.

They are actually playing more and more together these days. They use their imaginations so much. They are so much fun to watch. This week's imaginative play for Sydney is her putting Parker to bed...she sings our naptime song and then brings him all his things for bed, a bedtime story, blanket, pillow. She tells him he has to close his eyes and go to sleep.

Like any brother/sister realtionship as much as they love each other, they love to fight with each other. Whewee! Growing up as an only child, this sibling rivalry is a HUGE learning curve for me.

Parker has gone thru a biting phase a couple of times. There was a couple weeks where he was biting her every single day. Thankfully he has taken a break...hopefully a permanent one.

Now dont feel sorry for just Sydney, she starts her fair share of things. She likes to head butt.

They are so smart. I know, I know everyone says that.

It is so cool though you tell them something or read them something once and they store that info and surprise you with it later.

They surprise us daily.

These days they know their address, their birthday, their full names, how to spell their names.

They identify all colors and shapes, many letters and numbers and can tell you some letter sounds too.

They can sing so many songs and love to say all the nursery rhymes.

Parker can name the President and Vice President of the United States.

They both know the America bird is the bald eagle.

Sydney can tell you what neighborhood she lives in.
