Things we did this summer-
DINOSAURS: There was an expo in Springfield to see moving re-creations of dinosaurs! The boys (and my biggest boy Trevor) Loved it! Trevor has been trying to instill his childhood love for dinosaurs into the boys and has been trying to get me to OK decorating their room in dinosaurs! He might be wearing me down. Trevor bought them a 2 ft. tall T-rex that they love to play with. Ethan will put the T-rex in the corner for biting....lol At first Ethan couldn't say dinosaur so he would call them "Cee-sars" and now he calls them "dinos" They had a blast!
SPRINGFIELD ZOO: Once a year the Springfield zoo has a special free day for families with special kids. This was our second year to be invited. We got to ride the mini train ride around the pond (The boys love trains). Ethan's favorite was the bears. My favorite was feeding the giraffes. The hit with Nicolas was the street drums! He loves to pound on drums!
A week before we went to the zoo we watched the movie "We bought a zoo." Ethan still randomly says "We got a zoo!"....lol
We've also been swimming a few times. Ethan is learning how to hold his breath and nose when he goes underwater! He has no fear of anything so it worried me when he wanted to jump in the pool with the big boys and not want mommy or daddy to catch him! But he is learning how to be a big boy in the water.
The Olympics are going on right now. Trevor will watch some of the highlights and then you will see Ethan trying to mimic the gymnastics and the trampoline jumping...lol Both boys are such stunt men! I guess I am just used to it but I realize how crazy they are when other people are around and the boys give them heart attacks! I don't know where they get their crazy from!! They just have endless energy and like to test their limits! I think their initial fight for life has led them to be stronger.
Nicolas likes: Drums- he loves to pound on his drums to let his steam out. He also likes any music with a strong drum beat to it.
Ethan likes-
Coloring and puzzles. He is doing 60+ piece puzzles all by himself. Recently we started tracing letters and numbers.
