Things I Need to Remember
This age is tough. I am very much out of my comfort zone, especially with Forest who wants to be very independent and pushes boundaries and rules as far as possible. But there are some wonderful things that I want to remember a year from now and twenty years from now.
The sound of Forest calling “Loooogieeeen” as he chases after his brother down the hall.
Seeing them make up things together like “boom bah!” complete with leg movements.
Hearing them talking to each other even though it usually sounds like a disagreement about something. Almost like your taking opposite sides of something on purpose and often seem to get confused about which side you were on at the beginning as you tend to end up in agreement.
Seeing them express empathy for each other. When one is crying or in time out, the other has to check up and often will bring the favorite stuffed animal to comfort.
Hearing them say “thank you” randomly without being reminded. Hearing them say “sorry” without being asked to.
Seeing them pat arms or heads when you are saying you’re sorry.
How much they love all of their grandparents.
How much Forest loves to read and Logan loves to draw.
How Forest gets sad when grandparents or Dusty leave.
That they are becoming more and more imaginative. Mixing toys and imagining play by themselves.
They are trying to understand emotions and express them.
How much they smile when we sing silly songs together.
That Forest loves to dance to the music at the end of favorite tv shows.
Forest running through the house with a play screwdriver in his hand saying “fight bad guys!” in a deep gravely voice.
Logan chasing Anya the cat throughout the house. Or any other cat that is silly enough to leave their safe zones.
Eskimo and butterfly kisses and how they make such giggles.
How much they want to help around the house with chores. Logan is especially clean!
