It seems Ethan likes to try out new words every day. Yesterday, the word of the day was "forgot", which comes out as "got". It's fun to see them learn how different words work in different situations, rather than the one-word-fits-all approach. He used to say "missed it" to mean forgot. Of course yesterday he was saying "forgot" when I hadn't really (i.e. I hadn't got a chance to finish sorting their summer/winter clothes so there was a pile on the floor, which he thought I "forgot" rather than just didn't have time for!), but still. Today his words are "handsome" and "pretty".
He is also practicing the days of the week, though he is stuck on Monday and Saturday. Yesterday, Sunday, he kept insisting it was Monday. He finally by the end of the day got Sunday and this morning when he woke up, Jack asked him what day it was and he pointed his finger up and said "Saturday", then paused, said "No, Monday". Jack asked what day will it be tomorrow and he said "Tuesday." I think they are actually learning something at school :) His other favorite expression is "not today". I asked him if he needed to go pee pee and he said "no, not today". Of course he will use this to try to get out of anything too.!
Isaac of course has some funnies too. We started using a booster seat grandma gave us. Isaac especially is fond of it, but he calls it his "rooster". The other day when Ethan sat it in, he started screaming "Ethan, that's my cock-a-doodle-doo!".
Meantime, they do seem to like school, even if it seems they are perpetually sick with something. They like the big running around mat they have in their classroom (more like a gym set-up). It can be hard to actually find out what they did in school. They often have different stories about it like Isaac will tell me they played basketball, while Ethan will say "no, not today." But they talk more and more about their friends, learning their names. I wasn't sure what to do on Friday when I went to pick them up. They were still sitting in circle time and Ethan was sitting next to a girl and he was looking at me then would lean over and kind of kiss her on the back of the head a couple times. Neither the girl nor the teacher seemed to notice so I didn't make a big deal of it, but I certainly hope that's not a sign of things to come!
