Recently I've really gotten to see their personalities emerge.
Naomi is such a talker/communicator. She LOVES learning... she reads some words and has some books memorized. She loves letters, numbers, carrying things in bags, pretending to be a mom, pretending to be a princess, etc. Recently she has started to ask about everything... While reading books she'll stop to ask what something is: what is a cliff? why are there hearts? what does that mean? So inquisitive! I love my little learner and am excited to do more formal pre-schooling this year.
Josiah is just bursting with cuteness and he is much more imaginative then Naomi was at 2 (24 months) . Driving his little steering wheel around. He'll often join in on Naomi's pretend games and rescue her, slaying dragons or bad-guys. He loves puzzles and seeing how things work. So mathy and a puzzle lover like me. He looks at things a lot, has great patiences for repeating experiments. Opening chairs and looking underneath. Spinning wheels on his cars and tractors. Most things he does at full speed. He is just two and runs to do everything unless some little something catches his eye on the way. He has focus like Ben, I've noticed that from early on. He can sit (when HE is interested) and do something for an hour. But his attention span only stays as long as he chooses. I can't contain his energy for long when he isn't focused.
I love them both so much! Teaching them and training them is a challenge at times but is so filled with joy!
