Kyle turns 2!



Kyle celebrated his second birthday. We had friends and neighbors over for the party. The kids fished for prizes and hit open a pinata. The cake had an ocean theme. The kids had "octopus" and shells and cheese for dinner. Kyle definitely enjoyed the cake and ice cream, but was rather disinterested in the presents. We let the older boys open them for him. Mara and John came to visit for the birthday too. Kyle is talking in short sentences now (about three words) and loves to run, jump and climb (just like his brother).

Bryson can ride a big bike (with training wheels) now. He is spending more time doing fine motor activities like crafts and has even been able to button his clothes. He can have decent conversations and his sense of humor is starting to show. He has significatly improved his performance at gymnastics class as well. He still has difficulty following directions in class though. Bryson is doing much better in his new class at daycare and doesn't cry anymore when I drop him off.

We had a nice Easter with our friends the Blickenstaffs. We went to a park and hid easter eggs. The boys had a great time running around looking for eggs. Kyle was just as good as the older boys. Bryson really enjoyed coloring eggs this year and they turned out great!
