Yes, they demand. We're working so hard on getting them to verbalize their wants and needs so right now, as long as they ask, they receive. Spoiled? Maybe...
They love to fight over toys still but when I tell that we'll "take turns" and they will get to play with it in a few minutes, they generally trust us. In the mornings, I'll give them their milk in their beds while I run around doing last minute things before letting them loose, so to speak. When they are done drinking their milk, they'll throw their cups to the ground and let it be known that they are "all done" and want to get "down!" When I tell them, "just a minute! I'll be RIGHT THERE" they calm down and trust that I will in fact be right there.
In the last few days, Jackson's got real good at telling us no. He more likes to shake his head no at you...but nonetheless, the point is made. Loud and clear. I think Jackson more than Aiden hates being interrupted.
Jason and I can tell that lately J&A have joined alliances. They are more like buddies now than competition. Don't get me wrong...there is STILL competition but they seem kinder to each other. They like "twin talking" to one another.
Some of their newer words are, "gape" aka grape, "fow-wur" aka flower, "be-be beer" aka baby bear (which is ALL bears), "be-be" aka baby, "bee" for the actual bee, "bee" when pointing to a huge truck means Big Truck, "socks", "feesh" aka fish, "biiike" which can be ANY kind of bike. A unicycle (yes, we've seen a few), bicycles, and motorcycles.
They still don't like to actually use the word "car". They much prefer to make the noise, "VROOOOM, VROOOM!" Haha. Go figure that one out.
Aiden HATES being dirty. He can not STAND to have anything on his fingers like catchup and is always "asking" to have his hands cleaned. Jackson only seems to care when he notices that his brother is getting extra attention due to have messy hands...and THEN he'll want to have his hands cleaned.
They actually like holding my hands now! They don't try to squirm away. We've been able to get them to hold hands a few times but as of the past few days, Jackson refuses. This is something he will shake his head at and then hide his hand under his armpit. (look, we have PROOF they have held hands at least once!)
Which reminds me, I taught them how to scratch their arm pits and scream like lil monkeys. They LOVE it.
I've joined a playgroup focused in Kyle/Buda and I think we'll be going to our first play date on Thursday. I'm really excited to get out there and make some lasting friendships both for our family and for the boys.
I'm sure I'm leaving a lot out...but it's getting really late and I could sit here and type all night.
But before I leave you, my confession is this:
I would be perfectly content with being a mom to just boys. They are THAT much fun.
