Yes, They Can Can Can!

LR

1. can swear! He said, "oh dammit" to me the other day. I explained we don't use those words to which he countered, "why?" "Um, well... dammit, I can't think of a reason." :)
2. can spell his name. He surprised me with that the other day. Maybe they're working on it in school...
3. can have an entire play date without any screaming, fighting, or tears!
4. has started using phrases like "it's not fair," and "that's not funny, Daddy." Ah preschool.
   

Missy

1. can pull herself up to a standing position and then let go with one hand, sometimes even both. She'll hover for a moment before sitting down. She practices standing by herself a couple of times each day now.
   
2. makes a break for the bathroom every time someone opens the door. She loves playing with swinging doors.
3. dances whenever she hears music by bouncing up and down.
4. waves both arms when she's happy.
5. can climb up the entire staircase on her own. (Don't worry, Daddy was behind her the whole way.)
   

J Frog

1. always gets his fingers pinched or smashed by siblings or toys.
2. follows every bite of food with a couple of fingers or his whole fist, making all mealtimes incredible messes.
3. can get his knees under him when crawling now, but for any distances, he reverts to commando crawling.
4. can go to anyone. As long as someone is cuddling him, he doesn't mind who it is.
5. can pull himself up, but sometimes gets stuck standing and doesn't know how to get back down. (We went through this a month ago with Missy. Here we go again.)
