2 weeks together

     WOW I can not believe it Jake has been with me for only 2 weeks and with Mattie for a week and a half it seems like he has been with us forever!!  Both boys are adjusting so much better then I could have ever imagined.  Mattie is a loving, proud, and very helpful big brother.  He only cries when his brother has to nap and he can not play with him.  I told Mattie to nap also he chooses to watch Sponge Bob instead of napping.  Jake is doing fantastic!!  The amount of things he understands is incredible when I tell him or ask him to do something.  After my 3 visits to Russia  could not understand any thing in Russian and here is a 2 year old understanding English after 2 weeks.

     Ok what does Jake like to do??  He LOVES music, food (especially the snack draw), water,giving kisses and of course his big brother.  OK he is potty trained and goes to the bathroom does what he needs to do then lets me know when he is done.  I think he goes to the bathroom so much because he LOVES to wash his hands!! Has become attached to his coat and sneakers so I do not know what I am going to do when it warms up this weekend not to have him wear his winter coat.  He gets very excited when Auntie Sue comes over and when Grandpa comes to visit.  And due to my basement flooding again Grandpa has been over alot!!

     He started trying to  climb out of the port a crib so he is sleeping in a big boy bed with a side rail of course.  Now if Mattie would stay in his bed then I will have my own room.  

     Unfortunately I need to go back to work on Monday so Jake will be going to Day Care next door on Monday.  He is going to go over tomorrow for a short trial period.  Lucky for me  April school vacation is in two weeks so I will have a week off then.  And if Jake is not adjusting well to day care well then I will take more time off.  

     Happy Easter to all my blogger friends!!
