Terrible 2s, Soccer, and Letters

Here are the pictures and updates from Feb. 22-28.

This week Jacob began a little season of soccer. Instead of playing with the YMCA this winter, we are playing with a youth soccer organization in Tomball. The group is really an experiment for the youth organization since the kids (all ages 3-4) are younger than the youngest teams they have. It is a bit less structured and organized than Y soccer was, but the coaches are fantastic. Jacob just loves to run around anyways, so it is a good fit for him.

Luke has hit the "terrible 2s." He's very insistent on what he wants and throws crying tantrums when he doesn't get it.

Thankfully, he's still super sweet most of the time.

He is more independent and still very daring. Between his stunts and the refereeing the boys fights, I struggle getting much done during the day.

Both boys nap most days (J doesn't nap on school days) but lately the naps have gone back to back, which gives me great 1-on-1 time with each boy, but doesn't give me much of a break either.

I like quiet time to do dinner prep, and lately, dinner has been running late and is getting prepped and made with 2 boys underfoot...not the ideal situation.

Luke has finally shown a little interest in learning his letters, so like with Jacob, we have started working on the letters in the bathtub. Amazingly enough, he has started identifying letters occasionally. This week, he correctly handed me letters A, B, C, and D when asked. Fluke? Maybe. But I was proud.

Here are the pictures from that week.
