Kids in Summary.

Throughout the days I think of things that I could tell you about the kids but when it comes time to sit down, like right now, my mind goes blank. So I'm just going to give you a small summary of the kids.

We've attempted twice to transition them to their big beds but they love their tents. I remove them during the day so they can play on their beds or lie down, and they do both. But come nap or bedtime, they have to have their tents. It's all fine with me for now really. It's a nice routine I'm not ready to deal with. I'm talking about them sharing a room and one waking or staying up longer than the other. We have to shut their door because their bedroom is up by the front door. They would hear the comings/goings etc. But opening their door kind of makes a sound so you can't really sneak in and get one kid out while the other sleeps. It's both or none at all right now. Deegan has to got to bed with books, so he's entertained that way if he's awake and she's not. She on the other hand has one specific alphabet book and her baby doll.

Kenna:
She started saying words before him.
She takes care of everyone, especially Deegan. She'll bring him his water or cracker etc.
She loves her baby doll. I think I bought it for her for $4 at the grocery store when they were 10months old or something like that.
She loves to comb everyone's hair.
She loves accessories, especially shoes.
She sulks and has a great pouty face.
She'll grab a toy from Deegan and run while laughing.
She loves giving hugs and Eskimo kisses.
She eats more than him.
She loves fruits and veggies more than meat. Broccoli seems to be her favorite.
She likes to wave her hands and say, "Come on!"

Deegan:
His speech is getting better.
He loves books. He'll sit and read to himself.
He's cranky and violent when tired or hungry.
He's loves cartoons.
He's very particular with things. Blocks or cars have to be lined up perfectly. He knows if you change something on him while he's not looking.
He loves to kick the soccer ball and is really good at it while running (dribbling it's called).
He can throw a straight line drive with his foam baseballs and will do it for 30min straight easily.
He loves his cars.
He's more of a meat eater.
He's a monkey, climbs on everything, park fences, continues to try the trees but gets nowhere. I've caught him twice climb up and over the back of the couch. I'm glad it's not our couch :)
He loves to hop and jump. He gallops a lot these days, too cute.

They both love going grocery shopping. We all go together as a family usually on Sundays. We each take one kid and split up for shopping then meet back up to eat at the hot deli in the store. It works out well and we get out of there much faster. Afterward we let them ride the carousel in the mall twice before heading home.

For now that's about all I can think of. Oh, we just measured their height.
Deegan: 35 1/8 "
Kenna: 34 1/8
