Farm and Zoo

Last weekend was such a busy weekend. First on Friday we didn't go to school cause our friends Ms. Becca and Mr. Chris came up to play with us and take us out to lunch. We walked to Subway and ate yummy sandwiches, and of course we spent time in babyjail. Nate's favorite part was climbing all over Mr. Chris, he is so tall and is great at rough housing with us. He also has awesome shoes!!

Nate checking out Mr. Chris's tattoos - he thought they were pretty cool, he will have to wait till he is 18 though!

Nate with Mr. Chris and Ms. Becca - Alex was a little camera shy that day but gave everyone great hugs!

Saturday Mommy and Daddy took us to the Farm and we picked blueberries, raspberries and tomato we also bought cantaloupe, peppers, corn and zucchini. We saw goats and llamas and had way too much fun!

Needless to say we had great big naps on Saturday!! Sunday morning Mommy took us to the petting zoo. Alex did awesome and wasn't afraid of anything, and Nate was... well Nate and ran after EVERYTHING. We saw chickens, goats, sheep, a horse, an Emu named Mu, a pig, ducks, bunnies and a turkey. We had a blast!!

So that was just the weekend. On Wednesday Miss Jeanette came to visit us, we went swimming, Alex was doing awesome in the pool, floating on his own (with the arm floats) and kind of swimming,  and Miss Jeanette helped us eat lunch and get ready for naps before going out to lunch with Mommy. Busy week!!

Big news is Alex is finally moving to the 3 year old room at the end of the month and gets to be with Alex. He also will be starting an IEP program, special education, at the local elementary school in the next month so he gets more physical, occupational and speech therapy. So he will get to go to the elementary school a few times each week and spend his mornings there and then head off to daycare to play with Nate and our friends.

Phew.. that is one long update!! Enjoy!

We didn't do badly, the first night Nate fell asleep after a little running around in our room, luckily Mommy and Daddy left us some books to read. Alex however was very upset and finally passed out in Baby Jail at 1030 and Mommy carried him back upstairs. The next night was easier, we were both asleep by 9, and now we are back to our normal sleeping habits on our big boy beds.

Also Nate offically moved to the 3 year old room on Tueday and Alex is sill hanging out with some of our friends in the older 2 year olds room, he just needs to learn not to dump milk on the floor while our friends are trying to drink it.

Hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend!

Busy Week!

So we went to daycare 3 days in a row! THAT'S A RECORD! We have tomorrow off and get to visit Nana and Grandad. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our teacher's name is Miss Michelle, she is super nice. A typical day for us looks like this:

9am - arrive at daycare and check in
915 - morning snack
930 - morning announcements and dancing time
10-12 - play time and circle time
12 - lunch
1230 - 3 nap time
3 - snack time
and then we play till mommy comes and gets us.

Today Alex got to go to the big trash can with Miss Michelle just as Mommy was pulling up so she walked to the dumpster with them as well.

So we are still raising for March of Dimes. Have you donated yet? http://www.marchforbabies.org/twadsquad
