The latest on the whole crew

The past week or so I have definitely seen a change in Evan’s relationship with his brother. He plays with him more, interacts with him more and seems to generally appreciate him more. Evan, up until now, has been quite attached to Cora but not so much with Will so it is nice to see this bind growing.
Evan has always loved reading, especially Garfield comics. He has been reading our old Garfield books for the past year and when he had a really good week of listening and playing nicely I took Evan to the bookstore to pick out a new book. He wanted a new Garfield book and ended up getting a big color (the ones we have are in black and white) Garfield book. Evan loves this book and has memorized several comics. If you ever want to get Evan something – Garfield is always a hit. You can see this book in the background…and apparently the twins also like it.
The kid’s friend Jack (a few months older than them) came over to stay for the night recently. When Jack arrived the twins were asleep and Jack played with Evan. The next morning the kids all had a good time playing with each other and hanging out until Jack’s parents came and picked him up. Jack was quite excited with all the new toys available for him to explore. They all did a great job sharing toys and playing nicely. We look forward to seeing Jack soon!
I came home the other day and saw that Amy and Evan were outside drawing on the sidewalk. Evan has been known to make circles and even some rough people sketches from time to time but I was pretty impressed with is robot drawing. Nice work Evan!
Amy’s robot drawing can also be seen below.
Will and I were on the couch the other night and Colby was laying next to us. Colby had his head leaning on the top of the couch cushion – many of you can visualize this. All of a sudden I realize that Will is trying to play Peek a Boo with Colby. It was so sweet – but I tried to inform Will that Colby really is not a fan of the game.
Will has become a big fan of Colby, even when he is not playing Peek a Boo. Whenever he is next to Colby he likes to lean on him and put his head on him. He also likes to push Colby from behind. Probably something we should stop him from doing. But the smile is adorable as he leans or pushing or tries to play Peek a Boo.
The Reading Pool
Evan had his first day at pre-school today. He has his same teachers as he did last year and he was quite excited to go back. Hard to believe the next time we take this picture he will be going to Kindergarten!
I asked Evan if he wanted to go to the grocery store with me yesterday and this is what he said:
My tummy is empty of candy so yes I need to go to the store to get more.
I love Evan’ logic.
Not that you will get the full idea from just this explanation, but it is so cute I have to share. Will and Cora both have these little actions that they do randomly that are so cute.
Will flutters his eye lids, it is so funny. It may have started as an accident or involuntary but now we do it back and forth to each other. It is adorable and funny because I too have a tendency to flutter my eye lashes when I roll my eyes. Jen loves it ;).
Cora makes this weird breathing motion/noise with her mouth. Sometimes her lips are pursed like a fish and other times her mouth is wide open and she breathes really fast and loud. We do that back and forth to each other too. So funny.

The doctor was happy with their growth even though they are definitely not as big as their big brother was at this age. The doctor would like them to work on identifying body parts and common objects and words.
