UPDATE

Here is a quick update on the boys...  I know I should have pictures, but I don't. 

B-man

Turned 8!  We have really been dragging out his birthday.  In fact just today he got another birthday present from a friend.  He spent all weekend learning to fly his new remote control helicopter that he bought with birthday money from friends.  I think all men and boys should have one.  They are seriously fun, and watching his face while he concentrates so hard on controlling it is priceless.  Also he is taking a diving class at our city pool.  He has perfected a front dive, and now we are bribing him with candy for every time he tries a back dive off the board.  Mostly he just wants to do a cannon ball or a pencil dive.

J

Obsessed with going on an airplane.  If I kept track of how many times he asks me to literally take him to the airport so he can catch his airplane in a day, it would be more than 30 times.  That's a lot in one day, and he likes to pack his backpack and a little lunch box full of snacks for the flight.  It is so cute, but sometimes I wish he could just pretend to catch a flight.  Also he has recently decided that he loves frogs.  There are some that live on our deck, and he likes to go catch them, and carry them around with him.  I will not let them in the house, and I also am nervous the entire time that he is going to accidentally kill them.  He is only three after all.  Usually getting him back inside the house without the frogs is a bit of a struggle.  I am starting to wonder if we can count them as pets?  Just pets that live outside all the time.  Maybe we should name them.  J is also talking up a storm.  The other day we had this conversation...
J: Me like frogs.  Me love frogs.
Mom:  Did we find some frogs?  How many did we find?
J: Ummm 2.
Mom:  What color were the frogs?
J: Green!  And ummmm camouflage.

Obsessed with being one of the big kids.  Not quite two, but wants to do what they are doing.  He's also talking up a storm and added "taco" to his word list.  He is by far our earliest talker, and says three to four word sentences all the time.  Also, he is perfecting his jump.  Tonight he was practicing jumping off the stairs in my bedroom.  The first was too easy so he stepped up to the second with J.  That boy loves a little danger...
