It has been about two months since Wes has seen the kids. That has made me realize how fast children grow and change during toddlerhood. Anne at 19 months is a different baby than she was at 17 months. She has gone through a growth spurt and though she is still quite petite, she is obviously bigger. Her vocabulary, too is growing. She has reached that age when she can repeat just about anything you say--if she is in the mood. As I said last time, she has already entered her terrible two's. She uses the word "NO" to the point of abuse and likes to administer spankings. Although she's been very naughty, it is extremely cute. When she shakes her head "no," she just barely shakes it and her lips are pursed, not too tightly, but just as if she were giving a kiss. She is so beautiful! It is too bad that she is so . . .bad.
Just a few months ago, a coworker of mine was commenting on Aaron's speech, saying I might consider putting him into a learning center where they could work with him on his speech. (The coworker is 18 and childless.) All of the sudden, Aaron is a communicator extraordinaire. There are very few things he says that cannot be deciphered and most of what he says is clear to even the non-relative listener. I am beginning to be able to talk WITH Aaron. It is amazing.
Aaron is such a guy. He likes to catch baseball--as does Kirk. He loves cars dinosaurs, balls & bats, animals, and puddles. He loves to wrestle and chase girls, especially if they squeal as they run. How do I know he likes it? He talks to me about them.
Wes is not going to know what to think when he sees his babies again. I may get in trouble for say this, but he has cried over missing the kids so desperately. They've cried over missing him, too.
