Nicholas is three and a half, he speaks very well and clearly. He goes to preschool 2 days per week and seems to love playing and learning there. Benji enjoys the few moments he also gets to play in Nicholas' classroom - makes me wonder how he will be when it is his turn for mommy to leave him at preschool. He will be 2 next month and has rarely been left by his mommy. Since I'm now a full-time at home mom we are always together.

I'm in love with my new camera

These are my absolute most favorite pictures I've ever taken of both Nicholas and Benji. This Canon Rebel XSi camera is just amazing and I can't wait to learn new techniques and take more pictures!

Spring Pics

Here are my two latest favorite pics of the boys taken by a Woodlands photographer

Epiglottitus

Not sure what epiglottitus is, but my husband has taught it to Nicholas and when someone's mouth is open wide, he says epiglottitus. So here is his epiglottitus shot!

Nicholas' Third Birthday

Nicholas' Third Birthday party was held May 15, 2009 at our home in The Woodlands. We had a jungle/Diego theme party with safari hats, a Tiger moonwalk bouncer, BBQ, Mac n cheese, and 40 friends, mommies and daddies. Nicholas and Benji had a great time running around on the deck, coming and going into the house. We are so glad all our friends could join us to celebrate Nicholas' third birthday.

Nicholas's Favorite Things

Some of Nicholas' current favorite things: Always his Mama and Baby bunnies from the Guess How Much I Love You book, his Lightning McQueen cars (ka-chow!) and lately riding his "bike" out in the backyard. Every night he sleeps with his bunnies, and comes down each morning carrying his bunnies. We lost a baby bunny for a couple of months - seems it was at his Preschool. Anyway, I found it in his backpack today and he was so excited to have two mommy and two baby bunnies.

Escape

He wants out! He wants to escape from his brother!

Photoshoot

Yesterday we had a outdoor photoshoot with a local photographer. I hope she got some great shots as I know she got a lot of exercise chasing after the two of them to take pictures. Anyway I decided to get some pics of them together in the backyard. This is the best pic I've ever gotten of Benji smiling. Their daddy was behind me trying to tickle them with a dried bamboo stick. His first time wrangling and it worked!

Life with Alexander Boys

This is my blog to memorialize and remember all the events of my life with my Alexander boys. Right now, Nicholas is one month shy of three and has just told me "I'm all done with my nap", when he hasn't napped at all but was rather playing with his animals in his room. Now the two of them - Nicholas and Benji - are giggling together running around the porch.
