Things are looking good, but....

Kayley is getting really good about peeing in the potty. The poops are harder to get in the potty though. She shows no signs that she is pooping. So I have no idea how to get her to go poop in the potty and not just pee. Her totals for today, 8 in the potty and 4 in her undies.
On another note,
The kids are progressing very well. They have TONS of new words now. Kaiden knows more than Kayley, well, he can say more than her anyway. They really are such fun to be around. They have very different personalities. I wish they would both have their Dad's but sadly they don't.
Kaiden has mine. I have the worst temper. I am not always very good at hiding anger outbursts from the kids either. Kaiden sees that and now I am getting bit in the butt by it. They are copying words very quickly, so we have to be very careful what they are exposed to now. Especially TV. I can't believe the words they are allowing on there now. At all hours of the day too. Thankfully Disney and PBS are very good about it. Those 2 channels are my sanity saver!
So developmentally, the kids are doing great. They are mastering all kinds of skills, from throwing, climbing, and actually walking up stairs now, instead of crawling.
Kayley's favorite game is good old "Pat a cake, pat a cake"
Kaiden loves "Head shoulders knees and toes"
They actually sing along with it as I sing it to them.
By far, Kaiden's favorite word is sui. Sounds like sue ee. Daddy taught Kaiden Horsie instead of horse. So now he sounds like he is speaking chinese or something. Especially with how he fluctuates his voice when he says it. I try and correct him and say "no horse" to which his reply is "no sui". LOL, it really is cute.
Kayley has been doing this really cute thing with her arms. She'll throw them out to her side and say "what" which sounds like "whaaaaaat?" It really is adorable. She and Kaiden will both put their hands to their face and say "oh no" and have a pouty lip as they say it with sad little voices.
When Kaiden sees Kayley cry he will run up to her and give her a hug. When Kaiden cries Kayley looks at him with disgust. Mostly because he is crying because he can't have her toy. Which inevitably, he always gets.
If Kayley falls down and starts crying, Kaiden will get jealous and purposefully fall down and pretend to cry. It's quite hilarious.
They have both mastered utensils. Well, mostly. They can actually get the food in their mouths now, instead of their eyes, ears, hair, etc. They are also using plates and bowls now too. Instead of eating directly off the table or high chair tray.
Kayley can undress herself. Kaiden can't. Kadien can put shoes on, Ky can't. Basically, they are both at the same stage developmentally right now, but just better at different things than the other one. They are interacting a lot more now than they used to. They actually "talk" to each other and play with each other. Before, they just played next to each other.
I am so blessed to have these two. I know I complain about the stress a lot, but they really are very good kids and a whole lot of fun. Thanks for reading!
