Anthony and Alex Update

Anthony had alot of firsts within this last week:
First time sleeping in a tent.
First time tubing down the Ottertail with the family and mom.
First time in a kayak.
First day of kindergarten. He did not cry, I did not cry.
First day of school he was stung by his first bee. The nurse called and he was pretty upset.

When I was getting ready for school Anthony said to me,"Mom, are you ready for your first day of school looking like a hot chic?" Still cracks me up. Within the same breath as I was putting on my spanx because I was wearing a dress he told me,"Don't wear those Mrs. Doubtfire underwear again, that looks weird." Trust me I wish I didn't have to wear them.

Alex is talking more and more each day. It amazes me how they start to just try to repeat everything you say. Words include typical words like milk, bye-bye, Mommy (he says loud and alot), daddy-but lately he has been calling Erik mommy as well. But also bubbles, butt, poopy baby, and please-which is so cute because he has now picked up on the fact that if he says please he may just get everything he wants, thank you- which is a tone higher and kind of unrecognizable. His favorite word is book and he stalks me with books. Yes, happy he likes to read but also sometimes tired of reading about Spot. Oh and his latest word that he learned from Spot- NO! If you ask him a questions he responds no to almost everything.

This last week Alex also said potty and I asked him if he had to go. He ran to the bathroom, I set him on the toilet, and my 18 month old boy peed in the potty! So now it is a game. He says potty, runs to the potty, sits on the potty and says,"NO!"
