Where does the time go? I swear it cannot be 6 months since my last post. A lot has gone on in 6 months but for the life of me I can't remember it all. I will do my best to recap though. :)
We officially have a 5 year old and 3 year old in the house. Eric just graduated VPK last week! We are so proud of our little man. He got up in front of everyone and read his book. While most of it he had memorized from so much practice we could tell he forgot some of the words and actually sounded them out in his head and read them. While reading hasn't completely clicked for the most part he is well on his way. It will definitely open up a whole new world for him and us really. Will be harder to keep things from him that is for sure! Haha! He has grown so much socially this past year. He is so excited for kindergarten next school year he can hardly stand it. He is actually getting slightly more adventuresome in his eating as well which is a huge relief for me. He likes carrots, cheese quesadillas and cheeseburgers now. I think I about passed out when he asked if he could have carrots the other day. His interests at the moment include anything animal, science, math, religion, outdoors, star wars and craft related. He is very diversified in his likes. :) He has a best friend in preschool which he says he is going to marry when he gets older (for the record she says she is going to marry him to). They are so stinking cute together. For two kids that are so much alike they get along so well. They won't be in the same school next year though and I think they are both upset about that. I fore see many playdates in our future. Eric is becoming quite a handsome little man too. How is it possible that I have an elementary school aged child!
Tyler is becoming quite the little man lately. He has a quirky cute personality. He loves to give hugs and kisses and anything to do with being outside or anything dragon related. His favorite game to play with Brian is boy eating dragon. Both the boys love the beach and pool. He will be starting the 3 year old preK next school year. Very bittersweet for me! Tyler is our crazy adventure loving kid. I wouldn't put it past him to be a fire fighter when he gets older. We have a number of wild fires close to our area and the other day it was really smoky here. I mentioned about it hurting my head and Tyler told me he liked smoky things and that it smelled good. He is always saying something off the wall funny. While Eric seems to be the chatty intellect, Tyler is more a quiet charmer. It is so fascinating to see them becoming the little guys that God designed them to become. They are so different from each other yet love each other so much even with all the fighting they do. :)
The rest of the month is going to be packed with 2 VBS programs to attend and I'll be away one week on a mission trip so the boys will be going to friends' houses if Brian has to work. For July we will probably have many a pool and beach day and try to fit in a baseball game down in Daytona as well. I think we will also have to plan a trip to the zoo and it's splash park. In September Eric gets to go on a Disney cruise with his Omi for a few day which he is very excited about. Whatever this summer brings I can guarantee it won't be boring!! :)
