the two's

We're not quite at the two and half year point and life continues to only get crazier with colton and sulley. we find ourselves often forcing ourselves to turn our head trying not to laugh at their antics. both colton and sulley continue to play well together but are having more tug-o-war fights with toys. both seem to grasp the concept of trading but as we all know, it just doesn't always work. greg and i are trying to teach them manners (as much as we can at such a young age) and i have to say...so far so good. they both seem to have a handle on their thank you's, your welcome, and sometimes, the occasional "excuse me." "I'm sorry" and "it's ok" is mostly heard from only sulley. We haven't started with the "sirs" and "ma'ms" but will soon enough. with that being said, their language skills are improving weekly. sulley has begun using simple sentences and colton continues to use mostly two and (some) three word phrases. colton and sulley practiced counting steps when we were in SC so we're trying to continue habit here. both have been singing to a few tunes and of course when they're not singing to the music, you may find them jumping around or "dancing" to the beat. no one is potty trained yet but sulley has successfully peed in the potty twice. effortless attempts!
