Playing in boxes

Where's Axel?

Best place in the house to have a snack!

My boys:

Abel-
Is 21 months already! Can't believe I'm thinking about your 2nd B-day coming up. He has been chatting up a strom latley. Mostly words that you can't understand but a lot of noises-trying to get his point across. He can non-verbally tell you most things he needs. He'll grab my leg, tugging on my jeans, then point to the spot he wants me to sit. He enjoying looking at books and talking about all the things on the pages. He loves to 'find' what I ask. Like can you find the bear on the page. He is really good at this. He likes to laugh at Mom when I cook and set off the smoke detector. He will get the greatest belly giggle! At least some one doesn't mind when I toast things a little to much. Abel also likes to find pictures of animals and try to make the sounds. Most of them all sound the same- like Ahh Ahh- but he knows that each animal makes a sound.

Axel-
Is 5 years old. That still sounds so old to me. He is in such a hurry to be more grown up. He'll say Mom pretend I'm a teenager okay? He likes to jam to loud 'Rock and Roll' music. That's what he calls it- he likes most things on 93X. Which is like- Green day, AC/DC and such.  He has started to like math! I know right? He likes to do plus and minus problems. We'll write some down and he figures that out. It's awesome. He either uses his hands to help count or writes down 1-20 and then uses that to count the numbers he needs. I hope he continues to like math once school starts. Axel has flooded our bathroom twice since we have bought our house! Once he did it by emptying all the bath water on the floor and the other time was by clogging the toliet. He was like Mom we got a plugger! And all over the floor it went. Luckly our basement isn't finished under the bathroom.
