James is loving his new class this year, him and Nathan have actually been getting along better this past week....(knock on wood!) Although Miss Carrie has had to pull me to the side a couple of times already to talk about James' behavior. He has become even more "sassy" (love that word!) lately, so that is our battle these days, we are really working on using our "nice words". His teacher says "he is so strong willed, that is what I love about him!" I am reading THE STRONG WILLED CHILD for the third time..... He is hillarious though and is really bursting with personality! He is really into playing pirates on his pirate ship and is developing quite and imagination these days. He is great with Max and actually shares pretty good, he likes for Max to have whatever he has and will occasionally say that Max is his best friend, although there are times he shuts his door and wants to play without the little Max-a-Monster.

Max has entered climbing stage. This picture I had to take one day, I turned around and there he was on top of the table finishing off James breakfast. He is fast too! He LOVES to climb, just like his brother, so we have been spending more and more time outside on the playground. He has also begun throwing some serious fits when he gets mad, he squeals and flaps his arms, its pretty entertaining. He gets over his fits a lot quicker than big brother would, but I'm fairly certain we know have two strong willed boys on our hands! He is doing pretty good at school but still gets tired around 11am, he would probably still take two naps if he could. Overall he is still such a happy boy but into everything, I keep thinking of Eston and Tammi, I can't wait for them to experience this age!!
