**Funny/Sweet Story's of the month (I remembered to write down)**
To preface this story I must say that Jack is really into playing doctor right now. So we had some friends over and we told them to go clean up the playroom. He responded with "I'm a doctor, I dont need to pick up". Hmm...Fair Jack...most doctors have nurses...but until you have the letters behind your name...you are going to need to go clean up your own mess.
Another funny quote from this month fro Jack was "Mommy did you know that when you do the hokey pokey you can put your whole self in?"
Sibling story of the month - we are trying more and more to get them to play alone upstairs. Well one time this month it was really quite and they were playing upstairs and then I heard a bunch of laughing. They had taken their whole medical kit and had put it in toilet and was trying to flush it! Help us all!
- Favorite color - Still Red
- Favorite food - I would say ice cream and Chic-Fila are the things he requests most often...who doesn't
- Favorite hobby - We are really into playing some of his new games he got for Christmas and still into puzzles
- Favorite song - Trolls Theme Song!
- Funny quote - We had a friend babysit for us who is Indian. While she was there, he asked her "what is your color? I'm white." -- Oh Lord. My friend text me immediately and was laughing thank goodness. Kids say the darndest things.
- Learning - We started this month teaching Jack the basic phonetics of reading with this incredible book. He is doing so well with it! He loves to learn!
- His quirks - We still have a thing for Santa in January. He told me this month he wishes it was still December so we could still celebrate Christmas. He also prayed one night this month "Thank you for santa moving all my stuff so I could have my bunk bed".
- Highlight - 22 months old! She still did quite a bit of teething this month, but we definitely saw a light at the end of the month.
- Her words - We taught her to say "silly mommy" or any of our names with Silly. Her little lisp kind of melts both Christopher and I.
- Sleep - We regained our routine of sleep by the end of the month, but she did refuse a lot of naps and was up at 4 and 5 am many mornings in January.
- Food - We regained some normalcy of food with her at the end of the month too but she still isn't completely back to the way she use to eat. She really has never been a great eater, but we think we may have a vegetarian on our hands at 1 years old.
- Crying - Lots of tears! My Lord... lots of melt downs.
- Clothes - She is in 18-24 months and some 2T clothes still and she wears size 5 shoes
- Diapers - Size 5!
- Skills - She loves playing with her babies...stuffed animals or baby dolls. Every baby she has definitely needs a blanket! Which cracks me up! Francine also peed in the kid potty two times this month...just because! That was pretty cool!
