The twins turned 3 on the 19th. Here are some thoughts I have about 3 year olds:

1. 3 year olds like to sleep in their parents' bed.
2. 3 year olds do not like to clean up.
3. 3 year olds must get potty trained before they are 4 year olds.
4. 3 year olds don't want to take naps any more.
5. 3 year olds are too smart for my own good.

Oh the horror.

We had Jill's family down for the birthday. Jackson was so excited for "my Tyler" to come over for his birthday. Hailey was convinced that it was only Brandon's birthday. We let them open their cards that morning. Marianne sent some that made noises/sang songs. They Played with them for a good half hour. We went to church and the nursery leaders gave them candy bars. Afterward they had a birthday nap. Then we had birthday tacos, birthday presents, and birthday cake. What more could 2 little kids ask for?

I don't know if I've ever seen a kid love a birthday present so much.

The older kids seemed to enjoy the dragon castle even more than the birthday boys, haha.
Let's see....where to begin? Brandon and Jackson have become quite the pair. They are finally playing together a lot, which is usually in a destructive manner. Brandon loves dinosaurs, Jackson loves Power Rangers. Brandon is now a full 2 inches taller than Jackson. And quite a bit heavier. They both love candy. Jackson and Hailey pal around a lot. Sometimes they lay on the couch together under a blanket. Brandon still loves yogurt, and eating in general. Jackson still sleeps with all his "friends" in his bed and has added a couple more since I last wrote about it. They are both funny little guys, and mischievous. I keep finding them hiding under the table eating cookies or candy they aren't supposed to have. I can't help but laugh every time because the fact is, it's kind of hilarious that they steal candy and cookies and hide under the table to eat them. We spend a lot of time at the park these days, trying to burn off all their energy. Brandon likes to ride his tricycle down a big hill at the park, he must take after his mom, lol.

So we survived 3 years of infant/baby/toddler twin boys. They say the worst is over....but I know 3 year olds. I'm sure this next year will be full of fun surprises.
