Slacker

Well, it has been a while again. I am having such a hard time keeping up with posting! There have been so many moments that I have thought to myself, this needs to make it into my blog, yet, somehow, I don't get a chance to do it! Let me know if anything changes with my blog, or if any of you have trouble with it. I just switched to a new version, and don't know if anything will change for those of you who read it.

The Bug is going to be TWO in just a few more weeks! I can't believe that it has been two years since I was pregnant and waiting for his arrival. We didn't know if he was going to be a boy or a girl, and I remember thinking towards the end that it would probably be another boy. I had thought when I was pregnant again that I wanted a girl, but all along was not convinced that there was any chance it was. I dreamed about "the baby" looking just like Noah as a baby, and I was calling "the baby" Wyatt (not even a name we had been considering, but, as we know now, was our choice). Now if that wasn't a sign, I don't know what is! I wasn't the least bit disappointed when he arrived, and now am so glad that my boys have each other to play with everyday and to love each other.

They really are starting to play more with each other, although it usually doesn't last very long until someone is mad. More side-by-side playing is going on then anything else. I am looking forward to all the play adventures they will have together soon. They amaze me at how different their personalities really are. Noah is my concentrator. You can leave him in a room doing something, usually puzzle, building, coloring-related, and come back later to him still working on the same thing. Wyatt, on the other hand, will manage to take every single piece and part of EVERY toy in the room out and not play for more than 15 seconds with any one object!! He is my messy kid, Noah likes there to be some kind of order (not that he isn't messy). He actually likes to help clean up, and unfortunately ends up picking up after his brother a lot of the time.

We have talked a lot about the two of them sharing a room once Wyatt moves into a big-boy bed. Noah thinks he would like that, but I don't know if their differing personalities could handle it!! Right now, we have the room for them to have separate bedrooms, but if there were another child entering the picture (which there is not right now), it would be nice to keep the guest room that we have. We'll deal with that when we have to, but right now, Wyatt is staying in his crib for as long as possible. I don't want to give him that freedom yet!!

I hope to post a big long post for Wyatt's two year birthday, but must find the time to do it!! Time to go do some laundry.
