So impressed!

I just wanted to brag about my kids for a second. I am so impressed with how smart they are! Not that I doubted for a second that they would be smart, they have just really been throwing me off lately. Some of the stuff they are coming up is so awesome!

Last week, on two different trips to and from preschool, I worked with them on knowing right from left. I am turning right, now I'm turning left. Which way is this? Etc. Well, yesterday on the way to preschool I said, which way am I turning now, and they answered...and it was correct! They answered every turn correctly, to and from preschool! Then, on the way home from preschool I had to kind of hit the brakes as a light had changed colors and I needed to stop. Antonio asked "what's that Mommy, a big bump?" I told him no that it was a red light and when you a see a red light it means that you have to stop. He so brilliantly told me, Green says Go. :)

I was slightly shocked and then told him, yes it does! Then they continued to tell me turn for turn the rest of the way home. I am sure there are many other kids that know all this and maybe even know it earlier than mine did, but it makes Mommy proud when they say stuff like that! I've met first and second graders that can't tell their right from their left. So the fact that my 2 year-olds can, impresses me.

And they are so sweet and loving. I asked Analise for a kiss yesterday and she gave it to me, held my face in her little hands and said "I love you so much, no matter what." Which is what I say to her, but the fact that she did it unprompted was awesome! Melted my heart!

And I love watching them play with their friends. Yesterday we were at a friend's house (Katie) for Monday Night Football, and Antonio was playing with Jackson. I always call Jackson by his full name. I never really shorten it. Well, Antonio was playing with him with the soccer ball saying, hey Jack, catch! Hey Jack. Hey Jack. I just thought it was so sweet that he already has a little nickname for his friend.

Even when they are pushing every button I have in an attempt to make me nuts, they turn around and 2 seconds later do something so sweet, or cute or funny. It makes me forget I was mad a second ago. And I just love it. They are so sweet!!
