A few Quick Boy Stories

I have feel behind updating the blog for a variety of reasons.  The most significant one being that my iMac died and I had to replace it. The other computer we have has a few missing keys, a missing space bar (an important key) and also serves as our TV and video player.  Now I will go back and try to fill in the past month including my brother Matt's visit and our trip to Hamburg. I also didn't publish our holiday in Italy. WOW so much to do when the boys go to bed.

I wanted to however put a few pictures up of the boys who are growing and get along so well!

The Bobby Car
Last night Will wanted to give Jack a ride on his bobby car. So I put Jack behind Will, Jack held onto Will's shirt and Will drove him around the flat.  Jack giggled and giggled and did an exceptional job holding on (although I did walk behind him in case).  After about 5 minutes Jack was done and onto other toys. Will was so upset and drove his car over to Jack and kept saying "more Jack, more ride with Will."  Jack crawled over to the car and pulled himself up and Will said "YEAH."  It was a precious moment!  Too cute!

Giggle Monsters
Jack doesn't cry much but when he does or even gets sad there is an easy way to get him to laugh, Will. All I have to do is ask Will to make Jack laugh and he fake giggles and Jack laughs on cue.  Now this is good and bad because at night I often have the boys down for what I think is lights out and the next thing I hear are 2 little guys with big belly laughs in their beds.  It is also quite priceless.  I wish I had a penny for every giggle I hear come from that room.

Jack's favorite toy...one Will is playing with at the time.

2 Peas in a Pod!
The boys really do play together now. But at times I feel for Jack who just wants to be right next to his brother and for Will who has Jack just right next to him.   Will knows to give Jack "Jack Toys" and tries to give him things to distract him from his play area, but it often doesn't work for long.  Jack just wants to be big enough to sit next to Will and play but he is more of a demolition man to Will's parking lots, traffic jams, and train tracks.

I do hear often, "no Jack no! You're too little."  Oh soon enough Jack will hold his own.

Will is exceptional at building his train tracks, just can't connect them on his own YET.
