Life has really changed for us. I'm cooking daily and even baking sometimes (from scratch). The boys are loving school and I enjoy seeing them grow. Matt's doing wonderful with his english and is even writing words. He knows the letters and their sounds and spells by sounding out the word. For Valentine's day he wanted to give a card to our neighbor, Jean. He spelled it "JEN".
Tim has almost given up his Russian. He still uses a word or two every so often, but he's learning. He's even been writing his name. He's counting to 14 without help. He knows most of his letters. Our biggest problem is getting him to TRY things. He prefers to just say "I can't do it" because that's the easiest way to get things done. We keep encouraging him to try. We tell him it's OK if he can't do something but he needs to try first. Sometimes he surprises himself.
Christmas was SO much fun this year. The boys were amazing! Christmas morning Matt woke us up and told us we HAD to go downstairs and see if Santa had come. He was so excited when he saw all the gifts. He sorted them into piles (his, Tim's, Mom & Pop). Then the boys took turns opening. After each gift they would pick up the paper and put it in the garbage.
