How did they turn 3 already?

 This morning started off very different than it did 3 years ago! (Click older or newer at the bottom of the page for more about their story) It began with this little cutie wandering upstairs asking for some cereal and milk.  This is his favorite thing right now, of course in a green bowl...it's his most favorite color...he'd eat cereal for lunch and dinner too.  We had some unique quiet time together before the rest of the kids joined us.  It was quite nice.

 Josh is such a funny little character.  He is very stubborn...which leads to tantrums and slow going sometimes, but he's also very independent...he can put his shoes and socks on by himself, and buckle his car seat. He's also extremely loving and kind.  He loves to help and is very clever.  He surprises me all the time with the things he comes up with.  

 Then Jack joined us.  He is such a funny kid.  When they were little Josh was way more outgoing and social and Jack would either cry if anyone outside of our family looked at him or just stare.  Now he's our little social boy.  He loves making people laugh and he's quite the little charmer.  Jack is very loyal; he defends his siblings.  He is our goof ball...he's always giggling and being silly.  Jack is very good at putting his feelings into words.  He can tell me exactly what he's thinking and it's so fun.  I can tell by the look on my kids faces what they are feeling, but Jack is especially an open book.  He is super sweet, but doesn't like to be stroked or soft tickled...at all.  It's very rare for him to let me tickle him when we snuggle.

 I had picked up some little tub toys for them for this morning and they were a big hit! Look how much change two years brings.

 Man I love these two!  I can't even imagine our life without them.  I can't believe we've all survived 3 years together...there have been rough patches, but mostly, we have pretty awesome days...who wouldn't with these cute faces smiling at them?

 They definitely have a special little bond that's unique to twins.  I love hearing them talk to each other.  They are getting to be quite eloquent and it's my favorite to listen to them.
