These little monsters are the most amazing little monsters.

Mylo is learning more and more every day (I know that’s in just about every post). He’s so into sharing his toys with his friends—not so much with his sister, but definitely with his friends! He’s a hugger, a kisser and a terrible listener. I hear that’s the age, and we’ll get through it! Mylo’s favorite things to do these days are: wrestle his sister, dump water/dirt/sand/food on his sister, take toys from his sister, kiss and hug his sister (see the pattern?), get a wake up from his sister and generally teach her how to get in trouble. When they’re not frenemies, they’re definitely besties, and when they play well, they’re awesome. Mylo also loves to run around outside and help Daddy and Grandpa “Wick” work on the landscaping. He also has learned how to bring them beer, often telling them, “I need go get you beer, ok?” or “Daddy, here. I bring you beer. You open, ok?” Grandpa and Daddy think this is just fantastic.

Little Miss Babycakes is 100% girl with a little dirt on top. She’s fussy about lots, but has no problem sitting in the dirt and throwing it around. She’s also learned that if nobody’s in the room and the baby cries, the big brother gets yelled at first. She does this a lot. Then she smiles at him. Lola loves to play with him though, and a lot of the time when I think she’s screaming at him in anger, she’s squealing because he’s funny and she likes to be steamrollered. Yes, they play Steamroller. Lola also loves to ride in front of Mylo on his battery powered quad, loves to play chase, loves to wait for him around corners and surprise him, and loves to help me wake him up in the mornings. She’s a tiny little ball of ornery and Mylo just loves the heck out of her, and she loves him back.

We’re lucky to have two kids who enjoy each other (so far)!
