Brotherly Love

Just wanted to add a couple of pictures of the boys together. Collin seems to have turned a corner in the past week with Daniyar. He now realizes that the nicer he is to his brother, the more fun we all have and the more Daniyar wants to be with him. Of course, they still fight over a toy from time to time but I've seen so much more playing together. Collin was playing dress up again with the very creative underwear, coat and socks look. Daniyar has grown into 3T clothes now and up 2 shoe sizes. You will notice his new haircut. Remember that if you send kids with their father to get a haircut, be sure to specify "Don't shave his head!" I wasn't aware of that requirement. All joking aside, I am thankful that Ed helps a lot with the boys. Daniyar can rock the buzz cut with his cute face. Anyway, it'll grow!

New Pics!

Sorry it has been so long since I've written anything. The boys are doing well. Daniyar seems completely healed up and is talking more and more. His favorite words seem to be oatmeal (still his favorite food!), no, and mine! He loves to sing and has developed a fondness for Barney. We now know all of the Barney songs.
Collin is adjusting slowly and does some very nice big brother things on a regular basis now. He even puts up with Barney on TV when it is Daniyar's turn, even though he would prefer Garfield or Spongebob. He still loves super heroes and telling stories. He is doing great with his letters and writing. We are excited about Kindergarten this fall. Here are some pics taken at the YMCA family gym.
