Kendall
• Knows every letter and will identify them out of context. We take the kids’ to the mall play area on Sunday mornings before the mall opens and we often stroll the hallways so the kids can run and get out some energy. This past weekend, Kendall stopped at a store window and started reciting the letters that were on the window.
• Can count to 1-10 in English and Spanish. She’s been counting in English for about 2 months and has even started counting on her fingers. A few weeks ago, she was in the back seat of my car and I heard what sounded like Spanish. When I started repeating the numbers, they seemed familiar to her. She must have learned it at school because it’s not something we’ve practiced at home.
• Has started saying simple sentences like “Kendall singing”, “Mommy dancing” or “Chris crying”. I put new PJs on her a few weeks ago and told her she looked cute. Now, she walks around saying, “I are cute”. Why, yes you are my little cutie!
• She still loves to color and draw. I think she’s going to be a lefty.
• Will point out the colors of things she sees. “I wear brown”, “Mommy wear pink”, “Red car”.
• Loves listening to the Wiggles. I purchased a “Best of” album for my iPhone and she asks to listen to it constantly. “Wiggles”? “Wiggles”? And, I have to admit. Some of their songs are catchy!
• She also requests an animal game that I have on my iPhone. I highly recommend it. A flashcard pops up that shows the animal, the name of the animal and it makes the sound of the animal. Both kids love it and they are learning the names of animals they would not normally see.
• Her favorite foods are mac ‘n cheese and pizza. In between bites, she says, “Nummy Nummy”.
Christopher
• Has started talking much more over the last 2 months or so. He is also saying simple sentences like, “I want apple juice”. If I don’t respond as quickly as he thinks I should, he will walk into the kitchen and open the refrigerator door and yell, “Mommy”!
• When the kids’ are fighting or whining, I will often say, “Enough”. Last weekend, Kendall was carrying on and crying about something. Christopher turned around with this scowl on his face, pointed his finger and said, “E-nough”!
• Loves to climb and jump. His new favorite game is to place a chair from their craft table next to the knee wall that separates our living room and dining room. He climbs over the wall and falls on the couch. We’re still trying to stop that one.
• His favorite toy right now is his football. Daddy bought him a real football a few months ago. It was a nice day yesterday so we went outside and they threw the football. Well, actually Daddy threw the football and Christopher chased it and dove on it. But, still fun for everyone.
• He’s very loving and empathetic. If Kendall is crying, he will walk over and pat her back or give her hug. He often comes over to me and says, “Lap” and then climbs up and snuggles.
• He has taken a special liking to our cat, Kisa. He often goes to the bottom of the stairs and yells, “Kisa! Treats”! When she comes downstairs, he gently pets her and lays his head on her.
• Loves to color with markers. It’s my “go to” distraction if I need to get something done.
• His favorite foods are grapes, yogurt and pancakes
And, here's my "Awww" moment for the week. We were driving to daycare last week and when I looked in my rearview mirror, I saw this:

Hi-can I ask the name of that animal app? I couldn't tell from your picture. :) The picture of the kids holding hands is adorable!
