Similarities

Tafton and Mikaela look a lot alike, obviously right? brother and sister? Anyway, I was taking pictures of them today and I got a shot of Mikaela that super reminded me of a picture of Tafton. When I finally located the pic. of Tafton they didn't look exactly alike but pretty close!

ROAR!!!

Tafton likes to pretend to be different animals. Sometimes he'll crawl around barking and panting. Other times he'll come running at me and when I lift him up in the air he'll flap his arms and say, "tweet tweet, Tafton-bird." Today he's roaring at the cat. I asked him what's he being and he said, "Tafton-dinosaur."

Good Manners

We've tried really hard to get Tafton to be polite. He now says thank you for everything and if he forgets to say please we ask him to "say it nicely" and he'll say, "pleeeeeeease" in only the way kids can! The latest thing we've been teaching him is to say "excuse me" when he wants someone to move or when he burps or farts. He's super good at saying excuse me when he wants someone to get out of his way but when he burps or farts I have to prompt him, but he'll say it.

Two days ago we were driving home and I had been drinking my fave cherry coke and I burped. Tafton replied, "excuse me mommy."

What good manners!

Oh...Tafton

Tafton and Mikaela were both sitting in their high chairs eating lunch. Mikaela was looking all around so Tafton started saying, "Kayla, Kayla" until she looked at him. When Mikaela looked at him she put her fist up towards him. Tafton said, "knuckles" and pounded her fist. It was so funny and so cute! I love my two kids!
