George at 2.5, Charlie at almost 5 (just found this and never published it)

George at 2 and a half:

Latest phrases:
Get me out of here
oh, hi Daddy/ oh, hi Mama
Daddy home!
Papa house treat?
He's talking a lot- favorite words are Daddy, Papa, blankie, blue (blue fleecy jammies), boot, treat, show, outside, bottle
He likes to tell me he ate his food or treat or whatever, and then opens his mouth wide and points inside.
He's still very attached to John, he definitely prefers him to me most of the time. Often he'll ask for Daddy, then Papa, then me.
He loves to do funny dances for us to make us laugh. He's so smart and funny.

He knows almost all of his letters- both upper and lowercase!
Some days when Charlie needs me to help him walk up to his classroom, George gets to go along, too. He holds onto the railing and sits in circle time just like the big kids. He thinks he is just like them. They all know him, too; he's like the class mascot.

Charlie at almost 5:
He had a sweet interaction with his cousin Elizabeth when she was visiting.
Charlie: "Elizabeth, what your want to play with in my room?"
Elizabeth: "Barbies"
Charlie: "Oh, good try! We don't have any Barbies. Try again!"
Elizabeth: "Ummm"
(I whisper Legos to her)
"Legos"
Charlie: Your (sic) got it! Good job!

Also loves his letters and numbers, I'd say he knows 95% of them. We're still working on lower case and letter sounds. He can count up to thirty. He's so smart. It's so fun to have Charlie and George both so interested in letters and reading and learning along together.
