3 year Dr. Appt.

Yesterday I took the boys for their 3 year dr.'s appointment. My children love the doctor, dentist, etc. and always have. So here are some stats:

William:
Weight: 35 pounds
Height: 37"

Joseph:
Weight: 33 pounds
Height: 36 3/4"

The doctor was of course very impressed with their use of large words and their vocabulary. William told her "he was going to see baby Lily at the hospital and he was nervous."

Joseph is back on his Zyrtec daily and more med's for his eczema which I can't seem to control.

All in all they did great and I still can't believe they are 3.

Other tidbits:

William:
Can jump in a pool and swim back to the side without any assistance or swimmies on his arms.
You can throw him a ball and he can hit it every time with the bat.
He is not a very good catcher but can nail you with a football every time. He is going to be the quarterback.
He is a very fast runner.
He is still very cuddly and lovable but is still very aggressive and acts out more than Joseph.
He can now sign in phrases instead of just words. Like "may I be excused" and "I love you mommy".
He has a very short attention span and very BIG IMAGINATION!!!!!

Joseph:
Can jump in a pool and swim but he does not like to have his swimmies off unless he can touch the bottom.
He does not seem very interested in sports.
He can put a 52 piece puzzle together with very little assistance.
He is very independent.
He can dress himself, put his shoes on and dress William in the morning when he gets up. If I don't leave clothes out for him he will just put anything on the floor on.....
He can help wash the dishes and pick up trash. He is also good at scrubbing things.
He is very sensitive and cries when he is frustrated.
He has a very long attention span and can put anything together and take it apart. He is very academically gifted (my girlfriend who is a teacher told me that).

He is very interested in signing and does a lot better with it. He can actually sign lots of phrases.

They are both spoiled rotten but very good boys. We are having issues with sleeping right now they want to start out in our bed with a movie and now we can't get them to just go to bed at night. We are working on breaking the habit. It's just so hard cause I just want to cuddle and squeeze them all the time.

Michael and I strive to spend time with each of them one-on-one as often as possible. We encourage them to be different and separating them at preschool has been one of the best things we have ever done. My heart breaks for parents of twins who refuse to separate their children. It's so sad that they will grow up only knowing how to depend on each other.

We must say that our 3 years with the boys feels like a lifetime and I often wonder how we ever lived without them........
