We are finally in a fun and happy phase. By that I mean that both boys are happy at the same time for multiple days in a row. That hasn't happened for a loooooong time it feels like. They are such buds and constantly crack the other one up. In fact, I know that when I start to hear belly laughter from one or both, mischief is being made. Nothing too catastrophic yet. They giggle and jump in bed before going to sleep and then wake up talking and laughing. I love it!
They are also understanding and absorbing so much. I know they pretty much understand everything we say. And they are learning new words and understanding the associations. Just today, I was carrying Pierce down to get his shoes on to get in the car. He kept saying what I thought was the word "blue". It's been his favorite color lately and he names most things as that, even though I know he really knows. He kept saying it and pointing to his pants, which were a navy blue. Finally, I stopped and realized he was saying "poo" for poo poo. And he'd gone! I was so proud. Perhaps the first steps to potty training? :)
They have just been so agreeable, despite the normal occasional toddler meltdowns when things don't go exactly as they want. I had expected that, but a couple weeks ago we were having constant meltdowns literally all day sometimes. And they would last forever and just be in a generally bad mood. I had been worried that this was just toddlerhood and we were truly entering into the "terrible twos", but so far things seem to have straightened out. Knock on wood it continues!
