I can say that I got to sleep in today. I can't remember the last day I got to sleep in when Daniel wasn't home (he lets me sleep in on Saturdays sometimes). Both boys slept until 8:30 this morning. It was soooo nice!!!
We have been trying to potty train, so we tell Titus "You have to tell us when you have to go potty". Titus comes up to me and says "Poop", yeah we are on our way. I said okay, let's run to the bathroom, while I am getting off of the couch and putting Benjamin in his swing, Titus goes and grabs his Cars coloring book (magazine) to read in the bathroom. So we go through the coloring book naming the characters as we come across them. He wants to be just like his daddy!
Later Titus is playing in his room and I hear him saying "Yeah" and then a pause, "Yeah, and then a pause. Wondering who he is talking to, I go into his room. He is sitting in his toy box which he has thrown everything on to his bedroom floor. He is still saying "Yeah" and finally he raises a cell phone that is talking. when you push the button it says, "May I help you?", and his response is always "Yeah".
Titus is so thoughtful of his brother, he watches out for him a lot. Benjamin was a little fussy today while he was laying on his back. He just wanted someone to talk to him and he had a bubble in him tummy. Titus was talking to him and then gently rolled him over onto his stomach. Titus then went and got a blanket to cover both of them up, they were going to take a nap together. Benjamin burped and then Titus came to be and said "towel". I didn't understand why he wanted a towel, he found another blanket and went and wiped up his brother's spit up. He is soooo sweet. He is and is going to be a great bigger bother!!!!

Whatz That?
My favorite quote from Titus right now is "Whaz that?", but I think it is in the way he says it. I don't think I could drescribe it. I am going to try and get it on video so that I can post it. He is such a funny kid.
This morning on the way to my mom's house, out of the blue, he roared like a bear and then said "bear". He did the roar sound and telling us it was a bear for several times. So then we proceeded to go through all of the animal sounds Daniel and I could think of dog, cow, pig, elephant, monkey... Daniel was howling and Titus said it was a wolf. It is so much fun now that he is starting to talk and learn what his animals are.
Benjamin is growing so fast though, he is going to give his brother a run for his money. I put an outfit on him today that was 3/6 months and he fills it out. He just turned 3 months old last Wednesday. He is growing too fast. I found him an entertainment mat for my mom's house to help keep him busy and he loves to lay underneath it!! I made one for our house and he loves to lay underneath it and swing at the toys.

I love my boys
Can I just say the best part of my day is waking up and having my 2 year old wake up and come to me with his arms in the air saying "Ol me, ol me". Then we snuggle on the couch and watch the news together and then most morning we loose track of time and start running late. From I never know what the day is holding for me. Titus has definately hit the terrible two's.. he's not a terrible kid, but he already has the "I'm trying to be sneaky" smile with the squinty eyes and the saying "I'm sorry" when I am in trouble. He is really good about turning the tears on and off, going from crying because he thinks he is in trouble to laughing trying to get you to forget about it. I love him to death though!!!
We played baseball last night while watching the Ranger's game (we couldn't watch anything else), but we didn't finish watching the game because it went too late, last time I checked on the game they were in the 11th ining. Titus is so funny when he wants you to play baseball with him. He will bring you a glove and he will have his bat in his hand along with a ball and then his batting helmet on. He can actually hit the ball back to you know. Which is so much fun!!! Then after he is tired of batting he will come and bring you the bat (try to get you to wear the batting helmet as well) and take the glove and ball from you. He is a good little pitcher. It's funny to watch him pitch sometime, he ducks his head and closes his eyes while he is throwing the ball and is still pretty acurate. He is going to be our slugger.
Benjamin is just as fun, he is starting to smile and coo at you. He loves to lay on the floor and look at you. He will throw his arms and kick his legs. He is going to have a great personality like Titus. He can push up really well now when he is on his stomach, he doesn't like it that much though.
It is starting to become consignment/garage sale season for myself. I love to start shopping for Christmas for the boys. I have gotten some really good deals the last couple of years. I am going to one in McKinney this weekend to kick off the season.

Catching Up
Wow, having two kids takes a lot of adjusting and getting used to. Of course the obvious, it takes longer to get ready in the morning, but you have to watch out for 2 kids instead of just one. Going to the store for the first time was interesting, I didn't want to go by myself the first couple of times. I would purposely wait until Daniel got home from work and then I would leave one of the boys, most of the time Titus, with Daniel and I would take the other one to the store. Now that I have had time to adjust, it's not that big of a deal. I wouldn't trade this for anything though!!! I love having two little boys.
Last night Titus found one of his Christmas presents. I had it in the wrong closet, his, and the door was open. So we sat in his room and Daniel let me put it together for Titus. Titus was trying to help and rushing me at the same time. It was funny, he wanted to ride it all last night. Daniel said he woke up this morning and with a big grin said "Cycle, cycle?" like he was rediscovering it this morning. He was riding it all over the apartment this morning while we were trying to get ready for the day. He is so funny!! He is growing up so fast. It was like he could talk so much clearer over night. My 2 favorite things he does is ask "Wha you doin?". This morning he told me I did a good job puting his tricycle together. He came over gave me a big hug and then patted me on the back and said "Good job, good job". I had the biggest grin on my face after that.
