My 'big boys' are getting bigger and bigger every week.  First of all, they're quickly growing out of all their 'new' winter clothes we bought just a few months ago.. luckily we're quickly moving into spring.  And secondly they're meeting new milestones.

I've said it before, but we've always had trouble with Liam going poo in the potty since we began potty training.  Well finally, we have some improvement.  He's gone 3 or 4 times in the last 2 weeks!!  That is a huge step for him.  He still doesn't seem to like going, but he is doing it.

Also, we've moved their toddler beds into their rooms.  We moved 1 bed first because the other bed needed a small repair, and they didn't seem to be interested in sleeping or resting in it.. but when we moved in the 2nd bed I think they realized that they each can have a big boy bed and became very excited.  They both slept in their big boy beds that night.  They went right to sleep and we didn't hear a peep out of them all night.  They did wake up about 30-40 min earlier than normal though.  Nap the next day didn't go well, and the next night was the same story.  They both got up, we put them back in bed, they got up again, so we put them in their cribs.  (That's the deal, if they get up then they don't get their big boy beds.)  The 3rd night was a little different.  Liam didn't even want to sleep in his bed, but asked for his crib instead so he slept there.  Coen however asked for his bed so he stayed there.  He went right to sleep and woke up once during the night a bit confused I think.  He was asking for Liam, even though Liam was right next to him.  Once he relized Liam was there, he hopped back in bed and went back to sleep.
We're not sure how much longer it will take to get them completely used to sleeping in their beds, but we're excited for this new step.  (We're hoping it will make traveling a lot easier... currently they will not sleep anywhere but their cribs.)

Another thing I'm loving is the fact they really enjoy singing.  We take them to a Tiny Tots class, and they usually don't do much singing during the class, but they're bringing what they learn there home, and are singing a lot.  Coen does more singing than Liam and currently his favorite songs are 'Here is the Bee Hive' and 'Row, Row, Row your Boat'. (This song is courtesy of thier cousins Annelise and Celeste.)
I hope they enjoy singing and will stay involved as they get older.


And the last thought for the day... The boys like putting things in their pockets, but when they don't have pockets they simply put things down their pants.  LOL
