Body Image

Being that the boys are 22 months apart, they are pretty close in size too. We always tell Trey that even though he is older, he might not always be bigger. Growing up Trey was always in the 40% for height & weight, where Tate on the other hand has always been in the 90-95% for height & weight. So, they are very aware of their sizes.

On vacation the boys started talking to each other about who is bigger/smaller. Trey says he is 1st skinniest in our house & Tate says he is 2nd skinniest in our house--they just know that is way it is. I can't remember which one it was, but they informed me that I am the 4th skinniest in our house. Bryan loves this and asks, "Are you sure that mommy is the 4th skinniest or the 1st fattest?" They both agreed that I am 4th skinniest--isn't that great?

Loose Tooth. . .This Morning

We were all exhausted & nobody wanted to wake, but we had to. I usually don't work on Mondays, but we had to re-arrange our schedule this week because Trey & Tate will be going to Football Camp this week. I am sure that I will have some fun things to say about that. I actually had to carry Tate out of his bed this morning & put him into the car--he did not want to move. We got to Grandma Barbie's house and he crashed on the couch. Trey starts wiggling his tooth. He gets obsessed wiggling his teeth, he can never just sit or stand still.

He then asked for a paper towel. Which means he thinks he is close to getting the tooth out. He has lost 3 teeth up until now. His bottom 2 and 1 on top (which he lost while we were at Disney--a challenge for the Tooth Fairy, but according to Tate "of course she will find us."). The tooth that he is working on this morning is the side tooth, not the other front one. I finally started to go to my car & he came running out after me. "Mom, wait!" He handed me his tooth.

Trey loosing his teeth is kind of making Tate a little sad. Every night when he brushes his teeth he tells me, "Mom, I really wish that I could lose a tooth like Trey." He just doesn't understand why his tooth won't come out like Trey's. I tell him that someday it will, it just isn't ready yet....but I still see him trying to wiggle one loose. It is not working though.

Updates...So much to do

Well, we have been very busy lately. As soon as Trey got out of school, we went to Disney World. This is the first time that the boys have been there. They loved it. They were exhausted & ready to come home though after 8 days. We have finally finished up soccer and t-ball. I forgot my camera today, so I don't have any new pictures to put up....don't worry though I will remember to do it this week.
