The Kitchen Family

two HUGE pieces of my heart

 Cohen is 3 years old.

He LOVES watching "shows" and Madagascar is his favorite lately.

He loves making his brother and friends laugh, and LOVES preschool. He is learning a lot about gaining responsibility lately and really likes it, surprisingly. He always wants to help clean and do laundry and dishes.

He HAS to have every tag cut off his shirt now a days.

Some favorite quotes from Cohen lately:

Playing pretend and saying "Here we go to Walmart to ride the bikes and get a free cookie!" and when swinging on saying "Go Heavenly Father, make this swing go longer!" and the best one is when he says "Mom, is it ok if I talk to myself for a little bit?"

He is toughening up Brendon a little everyday.

90% of the time they play wonderful together. 

 Brendon is 1 year and 3 months old.
He just had two teeth break through this week, now has 8.

He is a ham! He loves to joke with people, eats more than Cohen still, keeps up with Cohen and fights back. He is fearless and determined. Today at the park we packed up to leave and he smirked at me as he walked slowly away from me and climbed onto the playground to play more. He thinks this is hilarious. Very different from Cohen has ever been. Maybe 1st and 2nd child difference?
Brend is starting to speak a little more. He says Yeah, Nack {snack} are his newest words. Still just content not speaking hardly at all. Stinker. 

He still snuggles me daily, lights up when Daddy gets home, is contend to be alone when all the other kids are in a group playing. Loves feeding himself and also wants to help out with chores. He is snuggle and sweet but can flip a switch in an instance and be a little feisty.

They are two of the greatest blessings in my life.

They teach me plenty every day.

I always say this, but they wear me out!

And I thank them for it.
