Alkix and Yay-yay

Alkix and YayYay are what Ava and Alex call each other. They CAN say each other's names correctly, but prefer to call each other by their nicknames.

They also are developing a language between themselves. I am slowly learning some of these new words. For example: "A-Neese" means "let's run back and forth."

Yesterday Bobby and I both witnessed an entire conversation between them:

Alkix: I poopied in the potty, YayYay.
YayYay: Good Job, Alkix.
Alkix: Thank you, YayYay.

And then they hugged. It was precious.

Wordless Wednesday

tearing it down...

Once upon a time there were newborn twins who came home to this.

And now their once beautiful nursery looks like this:

And this:

And this:


Are they trying to tell me it's time for new rooms? Or at least new decor? And if they are this great at ripping down border, why does it take them so long to open Christmas presents???

Wordless Wednesday

Little feet can be deceiving.

No standing - anytime.

That sign says "No Standing." Look closely and you'll see all the letters there... maybe not in exact order. The sign hangs on Robert's bedroom door (which now remains locked-like other doors in the house) because of one of newest big purchases:



We now have bunk beds in Robert's room. Since we set it up last month, Robert has 'graduated' to the top bunk (which, by the way, is a big pain in the butt to make) and Alex will soon move in and take over the bottom bunk.
Ava and Alex are not quite ready to make the transition, and will remain in their cribs until the timing is right (or they start to climb out... whichever comes first)

So, the sign that Robert made states that there shall be "NO STANDING on the top bunk."
or "boo-beds" as Ava calls them. And who do you think is the expert climber on this new "playground?" Click here to find out, if you don't already know!

Robert's 4yr check up

Robert visited Dr. Novak for his 4 yr check up last week. He was very cooperative for the entire visit. He now weighs 40.5 lbs (80th percentile) and is 42.5 inches tall (90th percentile). Dr. Novak asked Robert if he could count to 10 or 20, and the show off that he is, Robert proceeded to count to 29. He would have kept going if he knew what came next! He also spelled and wrote his name and showed the doctor that he knows his left and right. The doctor asked him questions about safety and hygiene and then Robert had to have two shots. I was fully aware and was prepped by the nurse to NOT tell him about the shots. I have to say, i am SO glad I refrained from telling him! He had no idea it was coming and it was over before he had time to even realize that it happened. He let out a squeal, but had no time to really react.
In the end, Robert is still a healthy, growing 4 year old. (but I still sometimes threaten to give him away!)

Robert is very interested in signs. Be they street signs, warning signs, any type of sign - he always asks "What does that mean?" Some days it gets annoying, but I know he's just learning. And even Alex is in on it. He will also say "What dat mean?"

I'll post more on signs in my next post...
