Napless in Sanford

So James has decided that naps aren't for cool kids. So when we pick him up from daycare, his eyes are practically hanging down to his belly button bc he's so exhausted. So we've been having him lay down when he gets home...he completely crashes... therefore missing out on fun and then having to basically eat dinner, and the whole bedtime routine.

Cooper turned 2! Can you believe it?! I just can NOT believe he is TWO! He's really starting to immitate words really well. He is seriously the most precious child in the world. One of his favorite things is to have every pair of shoes put on and off a hundred times. I think it's because he can say "on" and "off" and he actaully gets the response he was looking for. The funniest thing he immitates is his mawmaw and pawpaw yelling at their dogs to hush. They have 2 yapping chiuauas (sp?). When he walks in their door he hollers "shriristomogo!" in a very demanding voice.

And if you can actually believe this...James and Nathanael are really and truly riding thier bikes without training wheels!!! At 3 1/2, Nathanael, our daredevil decides he's done with the pansey-ass training wheels. He took off across the yard like it was nothing. So then big brother James decides to try it and he could do it too! I'm seriously amazed. Don't get me wrong, they still fall, but they just hop right back up and go again!

Sorry, sideways....Here's Nathanael at Deopt Park in downtown Sanford. It's one of the boys' favorite places. He's climbing on the train

When Mimi came to vistg last week, she brought really cool art supplies that the boys thouroughly enjoyed.

This is one of Cooper's favorite spots - sitting on his daddy's foot and getting a horsey ride.

Nathanael has done great at daycare the past 1 1/2 weeks. It could be several things...we've started back brushing him faithfully twice a day. He has a new teacher (we'll see when the newness wears off), we've taken him swimming several times a week - giving him lots of time to get his energy out, he sleeps under "Mimi's snuggly", the weighted blanket my mom got him, which he loves...so, just not sure what it is, but we sure are enjoying the good reports from daycare.

Some pics - finally!

James is tall enough to ride the swings! Familu fun day at our church two weeks ago.

Seriously? Is a little boy allowed to be this cute? Cooper will be 2 this month!
