These are a few of their favorite things

Xander
no longer having to take a nap
wrestling with Hylan, Parker, and Davis
sneaking his lawnmower inside
saying his alphabet, getting to the end, and replacing Z with F, and laughing
telling me he's not crazy but a wildman instead
ramen noodles
being read to
running around naked
cuddling with Mimi
the new sandbox
Daddy swinging him high since Mommy can't go as high

Hylan
saying new words like dog, bite, and dada
candy
poking Mommy in the eye
belly-buttons (aka pookas)
dogs
pretending to give Xander a toy then yanking it away
pretending to read
finding out how things work and are put together
begging Pawpaw for food, no matter what it is
Daddy coming home from work


I didn't get a picture but visualize. I walked into the bathroom to find Xander trying desperately to hold on to one of Hylan's legs as Hylan is desperately trying to reach into the toilet to splash around. As much as Xander bugs the poo out of Hylan, he still tries to protect him, and that makes me happy.
