Accomplishments of A 1yr Old and A 2yr Old.

This week Lorelai is learning to put words together and speaking in sentences! She will say "Hi Dada or Mama." She will also say bye and our name. As well as Love you! She is also trying really hard to copy brother when he goes through letters. At the moment, she will try to sing the song and you can hear slight sounds that are suppose to be there. Also any letter right now is either, H, G, A or O. She is trying though. Her huge desire to communicate amazes me. Mostly because I have a 2 year old who just doesnt have a lot to say. Maybe it's just the difference between boys and girls. I talk a lot but my husband doesnt generally have much to say..So I guess they are each following suit. He is getting better today. He is getting better at asking for what he wants. He will ask for a snack or crackers, drink, and will say "I sleep now," when he is tired. He understand what we are saying because he will generally follow simple directions(given he is in the mood to, haha.) For the most part talking is the biggest changes. Finn can now count to 10, or at least in his version "1,2,3,5, si, sev, ay, 9, 10." He still refuses to acknowledge four. Lorelai will say 1,2 and 5. Now this week, I have been trying to introduce how we use these numbers. Trying to give him visuals of what they look like, seeing them in order, and a representation of their value. Its going ok, he still just enjoys doing the counting part but seems to be beginning to come around to taking it further with our exercises. So I have pretty good reasons to be a proud momma! They are each definetly on their very own page in learning but each are progressing in their book. So that's all I can ask for!
