Too busy!!!

I hate to say this, but there are much more frequent updates on my facebook page.

Here's the quick version of updates on the kids:

William just turned 5! I am amazed that he is so old. He is learning to read and write, loves letters and numbers and can tell you that 120 is bigger than 80 (thanks to pokemon). He counts to 100 and knows all his letters and sounds and can now spell words by sounding them out! He is obsessed with planets and snakes. He couldn't live without his Pokemon cards, Bakugan toys, and Transformers. He just started playing soccer in august and is quite good. His natural speed, strength and aggression help him in getting the ball away from other kids. He has been gluten free for four months now and is doing very well. His behavior and emotional roller coaster has slowed down and gotten less extreme, but he is still our very exciting and intense child. He started Kindergarten at his day-care, which is great because it is familiar and only has 8 kids in his class! He gets the individual attention he needs! William recently told me that "sunday" has 3 words in it: sun, day, and sunday! Wow. He also told Rowen that he thinks Rowen is a freak.


Rowen is getting close to 3. He is still in preschool and is having fun there. He has the silliest sense of humor. He can understand jokes that adults think are funny and play into them. He is so smart and so stinkin' funny! He recently had his first buzz haircut, and now looks much more like William. Rowen LOVES cheese. He also loves cars, monster trucks and Spiderman. When he grows up he wants to be a monster truck driver, Spiderman, a power ranger, or hmm....it changes every day. Every time we walk by the skateboard park (on the way to soccer practice for Will) Rowen asks me if he can do that someday, and I say yes, then he tells me that he'll need a helmet, and a skateboard. Rowen recently tried rock climbing for the first time and climbed really high! He is still an easy going delight to have around, assuming you have plenty of cheese on hand. Oh, and it must be cheddar. Yesterday he was having a hard time falling asleep because his legs were sore from running up and down a very big hill while watching soccer practice. He told me that his "legs are thirsty!" Oh, what a perfect description for tired muscles. Currently he carries around wherever we go a stuffed doggie or birdy, and a sticky spiderman (with suction cups on his hands).
