The boys have been loads of fun lately, and I just can't get enough of them right now. They play together so nicely, share really well, and make each other laugh. They entertain each other while I pick up from meals, and I love to see what they come up with.

They still like to sit in little places together - behind the rocker in Joshua's room, under the table, behind the closet door, in boxes, etc. They don't mind knocking into each other while they get comfortable, and will sit together forever laughing because of the small space.

Turning on Fresh Beat Band music leads to an instant dance party, and running in circles is a game that will never get old.

Joshua has started giving Jacob lots and lots of hugs and kisses. He runs up to Jacob saying "brother" and laughs when they both end up on the ground.

Jacob started saying "shut up and eat your garbage" today. It is the most hilarious thing I have ever heard come out of his little mouth and I can't help but laugh like crazy and encourage him to say it again. It's from the movie Ratatouille, so it's not like he is just saying mean things, haha.

Josh gets in the car and says "movie" right away because he wants to watch a show on the way. He likes to play trains and will follow Jacob around the train tracks and wait patiently for him to keep going. I am amazed at how well he leaves his brother's trains alone and understands when I tell him that "no, that's your brothers."

Jacob is really loving swinging, and figured out the glider tonight. He asked me tonight to "hold hands and walk around," so we held hands and walked down the street. Then, half way down the road, he starts farting like crazy and asked for me to give him a piggy back ride home because he had a "poopy belly full of poop." Oh, boys and their love of talking about poop.

We bought Jacob a new night light - he hasn't had one since Joshua was born and we have been leaving the bathroom light on so he could get some light in his room. He LOVES having his own night light. He also still loves that I have a special box up over his bed that he puts all of his special toys in like his LeapPad, sunglasses, whistles, pencils, and anything else he doesn't want his brother touching. I think it's important he always has a place to put things that are just for him and not for sharing or for his brother to possible ruin on accident since he's younger.

I am just in shock that Jacob will be four in two days, and that these boys are just beyond easy to handle every day because of what nice hearts they have. I am truly blessed with these two boys, and am so glad they are growing up to be best friends just like my brother and me.

Tomorrow is Jacob's last day as a three-year-old, and we have a lot planned!!
