The twins will be transtioning to their new school next week.  They have grown so much in the last year - sometimes I hardly recognize them, physically and developmentally!

Christopher
You are still all boy.  You love to run, jump and climb.  You still love anything related to sports.  You now own 5 footballs, 2 basketballs, a soccer ball, 2 baseball bats, 1 batting tee and a bazillion foam baseballs.  You can throw the football with such force and accuracy that you surprise the person catching it and you are even learning how to kick it. 

You are still obsessed with your fireman rain boots.  Every day after school, you put them on and they stay on until bed time.  You also like to watch the Fireman's Parade that Mommy found on YouTube.  You get so excited if we see a real live fire truck or ambulance.

You have started showing a real interest in puzzles.  You will sit for up to an hour and put together and dump out the same puzzle over and over again.  Every time you complete it, you get so excited and yell, "I did it"!

You are a typical big brother who is starting to pick on little sister.  You will walk by and purposely nudge her or put your feet on her because you know you'll get a reaction. 

At the same time, you are so protective and loving toward Kendall.  If she starts crying at school, the teacher said you stop what you are doing and come over to check on her.  The other day, she asked for her Abby doll when she was upset and you sweetly said, "I get it Dendall" and you went all the way upstairs just to get it for her.  You made Mommy so proud!

You absolutely adore the family cat, Kisa.  You love to pet and hug her.  Sometimes you forget that she is small and old and get a little too rough and Mommy & Daddy have to remind you to be gentle.

Your favorite foods right now are broccoli, yogurt, mango, grapes and of course, "special treats" (M&Ms) when you go potty like a big boy.

You are wearing underwear all day at school and rarely have accidents.  You are even beginning to tell Mommy & Daddy before you have to go potty.  You still wear a Pull-Up at night. 

You are wearing 3T tops and bottoms.  You are approximately 36 inches tall and weigh 31 lbs.

Kendall
You are my little princess.  You love art and coloring just like your Mommy. 

You have mastered the alphabet and can accurately identify every letter in and out of context.  You can almost sing your ABCs.  You are counting to 10 in English and Spanish and can almost count to 20 without assistance.  You made Mommy laugh when we were counting and got to 29.  I asked what was next and you said "Twenty ten".  LOL!

You are completely in love with Yo Gabba Gabba.  Mommy and Daddy don't quite get the fascination but I guess it could be worse.  Every night at bedtime, we all have to say "Good night" to the Gabba Gabba characters.

Your vocabulary is much more extensive than your brother's and you surprise me every day with some of the words that you know.   Sometimes, Mommy catches you singing a song and when you see me watching, you just giggle and keep singing.

When you laugh, you crinkle your nose and it's the cutest thing ever.

Your favorite foods are pizza, mac 'n cheese, grapes and cookies. 

You are still willing to sit on the potty but you still haven't learned how to go.  Mommy & the teachers at school have tried all different methods and you just don't want to go quite yet.  You are wearing Pull-Ups all of the time.

You are also wearing 3T tops and bottoms, although some 4T tops are fitting.  It's been awhile since you were measured but if I had to guess, you are pretty close to your brother in height and weight.
