April 2011

April was a busy month for our family. We had John's 2nd birthday party and Easter to celebrate. We also had the normal fun with our two sweet boys!

John is becoming quite the little talker. He is starting to put words together and making little sentences. One of his first sentences was "Dadda hold me." Another sentence that we hear more often than we want to is "Will-Will hit me!"

My parents were in town for John's birthday party which was a lot of fun. The boys love playing with them. While they were here one night at dinner, Will was telling knock-knock jokes. Suddenly, John started telling one! It was so cute. It made me think that in his head he had been telling them along with Will for weeks, but just couldn't verbalize it. His knock-knock joke was: Knock-knock...who's there...Car go...car go who?...Car go Vroom! It is so sweet to hear John tell it.

On April 3, John promoted from the nursery to the 2 year old Bible class. I had to admit that it made me a little sad. It made me feel like my baby was growing up a little too fast!

Will is still loving his preschool. He has a lot of fun playing with his friends and teachers. He is such a little boy now. He loves to talk and sing! He has started to lose his obsession with balls. He still likes to play with them, but also likes to play with cars, trucks, trains, etc. He also is really starting to enjoy coloring.

Here are some pictures of our month!
