The boys recently- winter and spring 2015

George-
"Wisten to me!"
"I busy now!"
Stupid head (a not-so-lovely thing he's learned from his brother)
Tum here, right now! (He likes to be the navigator in the car)
Hot toto (hot cocoa)
otay (okay)
tars (cars)
Mama, best friend. (Mom, you're my best friend.)
Mama, I missed you.
Baby Sister is sleeping- no, I nice! (He says this when I ask him to be quiet because I've finally gotten Bonnie asleep and he's coming into my room to find me.)

Charlie-
Ohmagosh
Mom, if you do that, I won't love you anymore 
Baby Sister is looking at me!
Please I have...? (Then I remind him to say, "Please, *can* I have...?" and he'll say, "Please, I can have...?" It's a work in progress.)
You're fired! (He yells this at me. I think he thinks it's pretty mean. And depending on the day, I have to resist saying, "You can't fire me because I quit!")
Close your eyes, Mom, I'll tell you when it's safe to go. (Charlie's frightening version of "helping" me drive in the car. Needless to say, I don't comply with his wishes.)


George is into the marble run, cars, carrying toys and things around in his backpack or tote bag, hot cocoa, staying up late and yelling for me to come in his room, Baby Sister, trying to convince me to let him wear a diaper all day, healthy snacks like apples, pears, carrots and celery. He likes to sing with me- I recently taught him I Love You a Bushel and a Peck to sing to Bonnie.

Charlie is into paper airplanes, writing notes and hiding them for me or John to hunt for, building Lego sets (he earns at trip to Target to buy them for good behavior at school), and having his friend Reese over to play.

Naughtiness:
George is yelling more and tends to get kind of pushy with his peers. He also recently stuck a small ball of paper up his nose!

Charlie has been running away from his teachers/classroom at school and hiding, resulting in a few days where I've had to pick him up early. His behavior has gotten much, much better in the last few weeks with a new behavior chart implemented by his aide with rewards daily for good behavior plus our Lego reward, too.

He has also run away from our house to Reese's house twice. SO scary.
