Kiddo Update

Parker will be turning 3 in 2 months. It seems crazy. He is growing up so fast. A few things about Parker...

Parker started preschool this week. We are doing a co-op with 3 other families in the ward. He goes 2 times a week for 2 hours. He seems to really enjoy it.

Parker loves to make up his own songs lately. He sings about whatever he is doing. My favorite line, "And I just know it."

On Thursday Parker started talking about being scared in his room and "bad things" (whatever that means). I told him he can pray if he ever feels scared and he will feel better. After his nap that day he sat quivering in the corner and said, "There were lots of bad things. I said lots of prayers." It broke my heart. He still sleeps fine so it must not be too bad.

Parker is obsessed with dinosaurs lately. He pretends to be a T-Rex almost all day. He is the "biggest T-Rex in the whole world". He has the cutest roar. :) I need to get a video.

I wish Parker was potty trained, but he doesn't seem to care. I try occasionally. He has no problem peeing on everything including himself. Some day...

Ethan had his 2 month appointment this week. He is just shy of 13 pounds. He is putting on weight a lot faster than Parker did. He took his first round of shots like a champ. He smiles a lot these days and gets so close to giggling. He is sleeping around 8 hours at night and then eats and goes back to sleep.

Parker is in preschool. He looks so proud. I would love to hear those songs. Sorry about the scary things.
I remember being afraid of the dark and scary things when I was little too. No fun.
Ethan looks so cute with his band aids.

Are they brothers? Geeze they look similar! ALso, I am certain you have had lots of potty training advice, but a good friend of mine told me the other day, 3 years plus 1 month. If it hasn't clicked by then, at 3 yrs and a month, kids seem to just get it. Good luck.
