Grayson turned 2 on July 17! We now have a 5 yr old and 2 yr old. Hard to believe! Grayson's vocabulary has exploded over the past few weeks. He went from just a few words to making sentences. His favorite word is still "no" and he continues to frequent time out. We do laugh at the differences in the boys. We remember Davis having a harder time b/t 18 and 24 months b/c of a lack of vocab but he was never really a "terrible two". Grayson, on the other hand, can be quite the opposite! Hopefully it won't last long. We are so blessed to have these precious boys!
We celebrated Grayson's birthday in Carlowville with Mom and Dad. (It was hard to be at Mama Hon's house to celebrate having just lost her in May. The grieving process, at least for me, may take a while. I miss her so much.) We did have a great weekend. Mom and Dad have joined the community pool so we went swimming twice on Saturday. Davis is finally getting better with swimming. We are in the middle of a set of lessons and he's doing better. For some reason he is just terrified of the water. We have made significant progress this summer and see hope that he might actually learn to swim.
I'll try to add some more pictures and maybe videos if I can get them to load. Overall we are all doing well. I am in the process of transitioning out of my current job (bookkeeping) and returning to teaching in the fall. I am very excited! Lots to do to be prepared but excited. Davis is looking forward to starting K5 in the fall. Big step!
We met the Averettes in Gardendale for lunch and then headed up to the pumpkin patch in Hayden. Here's Davis with Miller Caroline on the hay ride to the pumpkins. After picking out pumpkins, Davis asked to jump on the Euro Bungee. Davis never wants to do something like that so I said sure. I really thought he'd back out. But to my surprise, he did it!
