Reagan and Kyleigh - December 2013

Here are my notes from this month:

Reagan:

  • Starting to get an attitude with us ("I just told you, what's the problem" are phrases he's using)
  • Prays after me or Ryan every night at the dinner table; often prays for very specific things on his plate or in the house
  • Exercising independence!! He wants to do everything himself
  • Trying to be the parent to Kyleigh: puts her in timeout or gives her discipline
  • Learning how to dress himself
  • Learned how to eat cereal with milk in it
  • Favorite movie is Day of the Diesels
  • Quit napping cold turkey for about 2 1/2 weeks (from Thanksgiving to mid-December); now naps once every 4 or 5 days
  • Likes to ask me if it's okay to "break his sandwich" (ie, pull it apart)
  • For a week, he came out of his room every morning and into my room and said, "Good morning, mom.  Good morning." And then climbed in bed with me
  • Often tells Kyleigh about sharing or her need to share with him, but doesn't like to share with her.  Go figure
  • Loves, loves, loves the snow!
  • Says "Hallowed by my name" when reciting the Lord's Prayer before bedtime
  • Gets very excited to do the Bible reading and calendar for Advent every night
  • Using the favorite toddler words of "mine" and "why?" a lot
Kyleigh:
  • Learned how to say her name
  • Forward facing in the car (whoo hoo!!)
  • Very sassy
  • Likes to help unload the dishwasher
  • Watches Reagan intently and wants to do everything he does
  • Very much into books - especially Big Fire Engine (her pronunciation is "faht-ting"), Red Truck, and Brown Bear
  • Loves to pick things up and then gives them to us: cat food dishes, phones, books, remotes (phones are her favorite)
  • All things are purple
  • Favorite phrase is "candle, hot"
  • Says "poop" every time she farts, but also often correctly identifies when she does poop
  • Loves to give big hugs, especially when she knows you're going to put her down.  It's like she holds on for dear life!
  • Says "hock" for "socks"
  • Calls Reagan either "Re Re" or "Ray Nay"
  • Starting to say "Ok, mama" or "Tay-too (thank you), mama"
  • Talking a lot
  • Runs everywhere - rarely walks
