Wonder Wing

Yesterday Becky and I brought Brandon and Logan to the Wonder Wing which is part of the Monmouth Museum at Brookdale. They had so much fun playing there.



Homework

Brandon had homework this weekend. His teacher sent home a cut out feather for him to decorate any way he wanted. She is going to hang up the feathers to make a turkey. I bought several different things for Brandon to choose what he wanted to put on his feather and he chose fuzzy pom poms. He had fun gluing them on.



Exersaucer and Tummy Time

Wesley used his exersaucer for the first time this week. He likes it for a short period before he wants to get out. Wesley is also getting better at tummy time. He csn really lift his head up high during it. He also sat in his bumbo chair this week and enjoyed sitting up in it.


Same Outfit



Wesley is wearinbg one of Brandon's outfits again today. The first picture is Brandon and the second picture is Wesley. They definitely look like brothers although there are a few differences.

A Brandon Post

I realized I haven't done a Brandon update in awhile so here it is.

Brandon started going to preschool in September and he LOVES it. He rides the bus to and from school and every morning when his bus comes he runs to it with a huge smile on his face. When he gets off after school he tells me that he had fun at school. He goes to school in the morning from 9-11:30 five days a week. I am so happy he is enjoying his first year in school.

Brandon knows all of his uppercase and lowercase letters, letter sounds, his numbers to 20, can count to 20, knows his shapes and colors, can spell his name, mommy, and daddy and knows that Wesley starts with W. He also tells you his name is Brandon Tyler Newman and Wesley's name is Wesley Matthew Newman. He just seems to pick up on everything he hears.

Brandon talks ALL of the time now and in sentences. It is really amazing how his speech suddenly picked up. Some of the words he comes up with surprise me because they are big words for a 3 year old.

Brandon continues to love Wesley. He gives him kisses often and strokes his leg. The other morning I was upstairs getting a bottle ready for Wesley and Wesley was downstairs crying. All of a sudden Wesley was quiet. I came downstairs and Brandon was standing in front of him shaking a ball that has a bell inside and had made Wesley stop crying.

Brandon loves playing on the computer. He loves playing games on pbskids, nickjr, starfall, and sesame street websites. He does a great job with the mouse on the computer which amazes me. Brandon also loves playing his leapfrpg leap pad, doing puzzles, and reading books.

Birthday Party Weekend

This past weekend Brandon had three birthday parties. The first party was Sydney's 4th birthday at House of Bounce. Brandon loved it there. He had so much fun bouncing and even climbed up the stairs of the big slide and slid down on his own. Wesley slept the first half of the party and then enjoyed looking at the big kids bouncing.





The first party that we had on Sunday was for Brandon's friend, Jen, who turned 3. The party was at Chucky Cheese. It was Brandon's first time going there. He had a lot of fun playing the games and winning tickets. He also liked seeing Chucky.

The last party of the weekend was Sunday afternoon for Hannah and Avery who turned 3. It was at pumpkin patch. The kids got to decorate pumpkins with foam pieces. Brandon also discovered how yummy apple cider donuts are.
