 Well, football season has ended at our house, since our favorite teams have all lost!! The boys cheered for the 
Sooners and Chargers to no avail! Dylan has been obsessed with good guys vs. bad guys, so he concluded that the bad guys won, which was quite unsettling to him. Luke is talking up a storm these days. He knows tons of words and is beginning to string them together and communicating with us... so cute! He is a very determined little guy and wants to always do whatever his big brother is doing. As you can imagine, this is often problematic and the source of many scuffles between the two. It doesn't help that he's huge and likes to wrestle and tackle Dylan for fun. Dilly isn't always up for this and it's becoming a source of difficulty with them. Overall though they love each other and take care of one another (especially when I'm not around). I signed Dylan up for a gymnastics class, 
Little Leapers, where he's learning some tumbling (along with structured listening and following directions from the teacher). Since he's not in a formal preschool setting, I think it's a good idea to expose him to these activities as practice for kindergarten. He'll start soccer at the YMCA in the spring (I can't believe I'll soon be a suburban soccer mom; at least I don't drive a minivan!). The winter weather has let up a bit here and we've recently had some sunshine. We're headed to the snow next weekend and I'm hoping it won't all be melted!!
