My Gems

The boys and I took a trip to the library today so I could return and restock my books. We spent some time in the children’s section so Adam could play with the puzzles. We also checked out a dinosaur book to read before bed, “How do Dinosaurs say Goodnight”.

Adam was a big fan of this shapes puzzle. He knows all of them except the trapezoid, octagon, and pentagon. I’m pretty impressed that he can differentiate between a circle and an oval, and also that he knows the difference between squares, rectangles, and diamonds. I didn’t realize he knew what a diamond was before today.

He’s also been big in to cylinders lately, which he finds hilarious. Earlier today he brought me a battery and kept saying “silly cylinder” as he showed it to me and pretended laugh.

And can we just talk about this one for a minute? He is growing like a weed. Luke is a regular chatterbox. He likes telling stories and blowing spit bubbles (which sounds disgusting but is really adorable – trust me). He has the best toothless smile and loves his pacifier (his thumb and fingers are a close second). The pacifier thing is new to us, Adam never wanted one. Luke however, will protest loudly if his is not available when he wants.

We really lucked out with these silly, smiley boys.
