Wrapping up January

OK - so my goal of weekly blogging hasn't been met yet, but I have faith - February is a new month!
Fun news this month for Adam, he has mastered tying his shoe laces! Papa and Grandma Eloe came for a visit in January and he and Papa worked hard on how to do it. When Adam decides he wants to figure something out, there is nothing stopping him! I can't believe how fast he is already. Now he doesn't want to wear any thing that velcros so we bought him a new pair of tennis shoes. He is continuing to beat me on many of the Wii games, especially baseball and boxing! And he and his daddy have been working on this throwing a catching skills with a baseball and glove. Travis mentioned that Adam needed to oil and shape his glove and they did that over the weekend - I should have taken a picture.
He is writing his letters in preschool and is getting better and better.
Alex is talking more and more. He really makes us laugh. He doesn't want to nap but still needs it so I'm laying down with him (poor me!). I figure our napping days are almost over so why not. He loves to say, "Mommies bed?" as we are walking the stairs. I tell him, "no, Alex's bed" and we go back and forth a few times. Saturday I said, "we need to sleep in Alex's bed with all of your friends", meaning his stuffed animals. (The animals are two Winnie the Pooh's, Eeore, Mickey, Elmo and a few others. He lays with them all around him and sometimes on top of him!) I went into my bathroom and when I came out he was in the process of carrying all of animals to our bed - all of them! I laughed and gave up because it was too darned cute! When he wakes up from his nap, he is very upset to find that I'm not in his bed. So he calls out to me from upstairs and when I come to him he says "Mommy, you whay down!" I chuckle every time!
Travis extremely busy with work, but still so happy with his job. I'm just here doing my same old thing.
Look for another post in a few days!!!!!
