Show Daddy your teeth

I was trying to take a candid photo of the boys sitting together when Grandma said, "Show Daddy your teeth!"  The following photos are Killians version of showing his teeth for a photo.

Improvement

Killian putting "punkin" stickers up

Beck likes to put all his upside down

Chilin' at Daddy's house

I love it when he comes and sits on my lap!

Beck was pretending a car drove into his eye and hurt it

Killian then had to do the same

So glad he is all smiles now when he comes over

They have to run or jump everywhere

Further proof I drug my kids?

There are plastic balls in the car to cushion the landing

They love to wrestle with each other

Beck has become more adventurous on his own

Killian walking with grandma's cane

Beck doing his best impression of George Bush

Beck had to also walk with the cane

Canes are also good for putting your misbehaving tree in line

He was so excited he got the cane stuck in the tree

Both boys have to drop stuff into the water down below every visit

     This last visit I was looking back on just how much has changed during the last year as far as the twins were concerned.  I'm getting both of them on a regular basis.  The boys interact more with me than they did a year ago.  It is much harder to change them because they now can run away and roll around if they don't want to be changed.  The boys interact with each other more.  It is so funny to listen to them try and have a conversation with one another.  It goes something like this...

Beck: Killian (he can actually pronounce that) I felled! *points to where he fell*
Killian: *looks at Beck* I have a wock.

Before, they would just push the other out of the way if they didn't like something instead of trying to talk it out.  The boys were pushing one another on a tricycle.  Beck would push, then say, "put me now."  Killian would get up and push for a bit, then they would switch all over.  Last year while watching Finding Nemo when the "biggie fish" came and ate all of Nemo's brothers they were excited at the big fish and big teeth.  Now they recognize that Marlin (Nemo's dad for all you non forced to watch Finding Nemo fifty times a week people) gets sad after the fish goes and it in turn makes them sad.  Killian used to be excited to get his shoes on because he could go outside.  Now he automatically thinks if I'm putting his shoes on he is going home.  So it usually takes me convincing him that we are only going outside and he can stay before he will put his shoes on.  The last time I told the boys they were going home, Beck threw his shoes and his police car (it's a big police car!) at me and said, "I no going home".  This last time Killian cried the entire way home saying things like, "turn awound go back Daddy's house!"  By the time we got to the twins home I was crying right along with Killian.  So I guess life is improving and the boys and I will some how figure out how to make all this work.
