Whats new with the kids?

I just thought i would share all the new things that have been going on in our house with the kids. Talan just turned 3 and sydney is about 16 months old. For the most part they get along really great and i love how close they are because they are best buddies. Sydney finally is walking and not only cruising around but started climbing up on things. Sydney's favorite things around the house include the toilet, toilet paper, bringing mom food from the pantry, getting into any drawer and cupboard that is in reach, loves the cleaning supplies under the sink, shaking her hips from side to side whenever she hears music, and pretty much making any mess she can. Yes i forgot all the things babies get into. Sydney is a very mellow happy baby most of the time so if you ever hear her cry it is usually 1 well i guess 2 things. Sometimes if she wants more food but mainly if Talan is smothering her.

Talan and sydney will be watching tv or playing and Talan will come over and lay across her lap, lay on top of her, throw a blanket over her head. Just recently he likes to find sydney and wrestle her down, and not really be rough just put all his dead weight on top of her. It has gotten to the point where sydney doesnt even want Talan to put his arms around her because usually that results in a tight squeeze. It is all playful and Sydney does really well taking it all but i have to rescue quite often throughout the day.

About 6 weeks ago Talan was potty trained and put in a toddler bed and both things went great. The first week of potty training was hard but then he did great after that. We've had a few accidents mostly while playing at the park i think he is having too much fun to stop playing and especially when he doesnt know where to go but at home he just goes all on his own whenever he needs to. The toddler bed he did really great for the first couple weeks and then lately we hear him running around between the upstairs rooms and closing doors or different toys making noise but he doesnt come downstairs and he always falls asleep eventually so i guess its alright. We love Talan and Sydney. Our kids make us laugh daily and at times they are challenging but we really have been blessed with two wonderful children.
