 Caden

• You LOVE Disney's Cars, especially Lightning McQueen, Sheriff, Jackson Storm, and Doc Hudson and have at least 3 cars in your hands at all times.
• You have the cutest little bouncy run and the biggest brown eyes and long lashes.
• You don't like wearing socks, but love wearing shoes 
• You love riding your Jurassic Park Jeep, even if it's freezing outside
• You're still super easy to put down to sleep
• You love brushing your teeth, but only if we let you fill your cup up with water and pour it out first.
• You've started being able to stay up with your brothers to watch our nightly show. Right now it's X-Men, but I think as soon as we're done with that we'll introduce you to Star Wars: The Clone Wars so I'm excited for that.
• You love taking baths and take at least one, sometimes two, per day. Before getting in the bath you grab every single toy individually, hold it up, say the name, make me say the name, then throw it in the tub. It's pretty adorable. The toys are Star Wars guys, an assortment of rubber duckies, different trucks, and If You Give A Mouse A Cookie characters.
• You're still a picky eater, but have discovered your love for applesauce and Cheerios (sho-shos). It's hard to resist when you enthusiastically shout "Moh appa sauce peeeeeese!!" You also have an unexplainable love for Cup Bop chicken. Seriously, you don't even touch any other chicken, but somehow know when it's Cup Bob and eat it
• You love Super Why and I think because of that love have known all of your letters by sight for probably 2 months now. It just came out of nowhere, you weren't talking at all and then all of the sudden you started saying a bunch of words AND knew your letters!

Nolan

• School is pretty boring for you right now, but you still love recess and any brainbooster activities (like art, P.E., music, etc).
• Your bus driver, Adam, is probably one of your favorite people. 
• You still love writing stories and drawing pictures. I love seeing what you create.
• You're still playing piano and I feel like your excitement goes up and down based on what song you are playing. Right now you're learning Believer by Imagine Dragons and the X-Men theme song.
• You like to be right and like to correct people when you think they're wrong
• Since getting a Lego set for Christmas from Uncle BJ you are ALL IN with Legos. It's you're favorite thing to do when you have free time (besides playing one of your games on the tablet). You asked me once on the way home from piano. "Mom, what am I good at that I could make money?" I suggested extra chores around the house, but you didn't like that idea, so I suggested baking and your eyes lit up. You made a flyer and have taken it to activity days and the neighbors houses. We've made a lot of chocolate chip and sugar cookies, but you've made like $80!

Branson

• You are always so kind and thoughtful and make my day often with your sweet notes saying I'm the best mom in the world.
• You love nothing more than to have someone play with you, especially in the basement or loft.
• You get really frustrated often because you feel like people are always bossing you arount (ahem, Nolan)
• You are STILL not potty trained. We've thrown our hands up at this point. We are all out of ideas. So for now we barely mention it except to confront you and say, "Branson, you've had an accident (because you'd just sit in it for forever) and then remind you to go take a shower and change into a new pull up. We just can't figure out what will motivate you. We've been to 3 doctors and all of them say nothing is wrong. Maybe a little backed up, but all insist that
