brag it out!

Ok guys. This is where you unashamedly brag about how ridiculously awesome your kid(s) are.

Alice is ROCKING the signing. She does more, please, and thank you in context and usually without prompting. She can stack her nesting blocks by size with minimal help. She is so kind and waves at everybody. (Much to the delight of little old ladies while grocery shopping!)

I have more but I am fixing to drive.

Wesley is doing awsome with feeding himself with a fork and spoon! I hardly need to help him anymore and the little mess is awesome! He is also starting to find things when I ask him to bring me the red ball, he will hunt it down and bring it to me. He is also starting to use more of the sign language that daycare is teaching him in context now, which has led to less tantrums!

Emma has been awesome with her transition into daycare. She says and signs "more" clearly and in the proper context. She is also very good at following commands same as @BrooketheCat‌ mentioned.

Yes! The signing has helped. Also, I tell her "ok, use your words." and she usually is able to tell me what she needs. Done, cup, down, help, etc.

@angelacz87 start teaching her! Live is so much easier with just the three words that alice knows. And they pick it up so quick!

I'm gonna brag about dd1 she is 4 and can say each letter in alphabet it's sound and a word that starts with the sound. For vowels and the letter c she can say both sounds they have. She can also do 100 piece puzzle all by herself. She is so smart! I've been dying to brag about that!

Ashley takes the laundry out of the dryer for me. She also puts her dish in the dishwasher

Elijah said, "I want cracker" to me yesterday. He picks up on everything that we say. His vocabulary is huge. His amazing with the shape sorter and knows triangle, circle, and star with 100% accuracy. He runs all over the place. He knows a lot of animals and what sounds they make. He can identify ears, nose, mouth, teeth, hair, eyes, belly, and toes on himself and other people. He loves to feed his baby doll. He has a favorite movie, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

G learned to say no and shake his head. He looks like Ray Charles doing it, which is surprisingly cute.

His language has exploded in the last month. I would say he uses a good 25 words in context and has a few two word phrases.

He's mimicking like crazy.

He's been pretending to cook me food with the play kitchen and then pretends to eat it and feed it to me.

Ds2 does this but will add a really smug look when I pretend try his food then pretend like it. It is like he is thinking "Yeah. I know. I make good food. Amateur".

E says thank you in context and without prompting 95% of the time. He's so polite. DS1 can't do this. He also says bye bye and waves enthusiastically when we leave a place. He hugs all the time. Melts my heart. He knows a lot of animals and animal sounds, tons of words, and is starting to learn colors. Trying to work on letters with him. DS1 could recognize and say almost every letter by the time he was 19 months. E also runs super fast. He's really cute too. Every one we meet is always gushing about him and he flirts right back.

Cecilia, too, with the words. Every day is something new. Today it was "birdy tweet tweet" and flapping her arms.
She is so coordinated. So fast, can climb anything, balance on things she shouldn't, etc. It amazes me.
She has been awesome about being a big sister. Zero jealousy. Maybe a bit rougher than I'd like but it's bc she's so enthusiastic.
And, I think she's pretty flipping cute.

He is doing great verbally. Getting to be more articulate, has a few complete phrases,follows directions, sings.

Really a very happy and cute guy. Very friendly. He's a Keebler Elf.

I also saw him pretending to feed a doll and himself the other day. It was pretty awesome to see imagination at work.

if sneakiness is in any way correlated with intelligence, my kid is a genius

I want to brag! The girls can sign please, more and eat. Kaylin has started signing "eat" when there's a commercial for something tasty . Both girls can identify their mouth, eyes, ears, nose, toes and belly buttons and they can also point to all those body parts on me and dh. And they follow directions really well when they feel like it!

DS can walk downstairs facing forward while holding my hands (I stand in front of him going down backwards).

Can use spoon for soups and yogurts.

Language reception is great - when I ask for something, he'll look around the room and find it.

Very good with cleaning up his toys/books before nap or bedtime.

just noticed this week - he can do shape sorter correctly most of the time (instead of trial and error).

DS is behind on talking, so I've been teaching him signs.  He is learning them quickly and now knows about 2 dozen signs and will sign them appropriately.  

Finally, we just hosted a play date with 3 other toddlers (similar age), and I think DS is the mellow-est toddler!
