Boys will be boys :)

The big boys are definately keeping us busy.  They are majorly obessed with POWER RANGERS! omg, they watch it daily, and play fight with all the sound effects, i'm about to ban them from watching if the fighting doesn't calm down.  These boys have a love/hit realtionship.. they love playing together, but bryson is really mean to nolan and nolan has a boundary problem: which is he doens't respect anyone's boundaries mostly personal space and bryson deals with that annoyance with kicking or hitting, and he gave nolan a pretty bad black eye the other morning and mom was NOT happy about that!  they do alot of play fighting and i look over to see bryson sitting on nolans head and nolan laughing and coming at bryson or chasing him, he's one tough kiddo, i tell bryson look out, he will be as big or bigger than you in no time, so be careful what you teach him because he learns from you!!  See below Golden and Red Ranger, they love these masks and swords, not too happy the swords are different because someone is always after the others stuff.  :)

 We are in the midst of trying to intrest Nolie in going on the big boy potty.  he's almost 3, he needs to get out of  diapers, and he's about to big for the biggest size walmart carries (6), he isn't really into it.. this is the night he finally decided he really wanted to wear big boy undies, he's just scared of the potty for  some reason, i think he's just super stubborn, i'm trying not to push it.. big brother was told if he helps get Nolan potty trained, he gets to go pick out something really cool from walmart.    he's very motivated by that, and does try to motivate Nolie and also makes fun of him (which isn't helpful) but Nolie as always, will do it when he's good and darn ready.  This kid definately marches to his own drum beat!  :)  But boy is he funny and sweet too :)

The boys love sharing a room, and really are good boys.  I overheard their nap conversation a few weekends ago and it's just hysterical the things kids talk about and how quickly everything jumps to poo poo and buttcracks.. BOYS!!    Nolan is really speaking good sentences and understands so much more and is such a talker, some days he drives me crazy with his non stop talking and questions!! 

They both love the ipad and fight over it regularly.  They both love candy way to much !!!  They both LOVE swimming, too bad we didn't get to do more of it this summer, and the good weather is about behind us!  They are both excellent with the baby, very sweet and loving.  I love seeing the relationships they each have with him.  Nolan plays with him alot, and Griffy follows him around and they are under the table giggling or whatever, it's adorable. Bryson likes to hold and feed the baby snacks. His attention is short lived, but it's usually quality.  I appreciate that they both are  gentle and loving to baby Griff!  :)  Neither like taking naps much or listening, but still do it after alot of reminding.  They are both really funny, sweet and cuddly boys when they aren't fighting, jumping off the couch, stealing snacks and trashing my house!!  Wouldn't trade these yeyhoos for the world!  :)
