At almost 2 years old Nolan is finally putting everything together, he now listens to what we are saying, we can talk him out of fits, bribe a little, explain things a little, and ask his opinion!!! No matter how challenging the age can be it is also amazing to watch them put everything together!! He likes to be busy, away from home, and with other people!!! Last night we went for ice cream and bowling with friends, and the boys had lots of fun!! Brayden was very competitive and upset he lost, Nolan loved bowling at first, but his attention span was short like the other kids his age!! I was shocked how well he did!! I took them both by myself at the beginning since Donny was car shopping!!! Nolan has been on the big kid playground outside at school for a few weeks and his teachers say he has no fear so they stick very close to him!!! I can't believe he is really going to turn 2 so soon, part of me is ready and the other part still thinks he is a baby and I don't ever want that to change!!!
Brayden is a reading machine, he is pretty self sufficient at this point and can figure out about any word in front of him!! He is reading this month for book it free pizza and has to read 6 hours in 4 months for a free pass to Six Flags, which he has never been too!! I love that they give him incentives and real goals!! It's been a great school year so far, according to his conference anyway!! His teacher said he is also starting to lead his group and has advanced twice as fast as expected already this year!!! He comes home with out complaints too so I am one happy mommy! Brayden has been playing basketball at the YMCA and doing excellent!! It helps that his best friend William is on his team too!!! Brayden has made 6 points in each of the last two games and has drastically improved his shooting since the season started a month ago!! He gets so excited when he makes a shot, it's so fun to watch!!! It's been a nice break with soccer being over and freeing up some time!!
We did our yearly family pictures last weekend, I booked a 20 minute session and the boys did awesome, we should get them back this week sometime hopefully!! It was 70 degrees outside too!!! Nolan's smiles were adorable, I can't wait to see them!!
The weather has been awesome so far this fall!! This weekend was really the first chilly days, but still easy to be outside! We are so not ready for winter!!!
