I think this next pictures shows the boys personalities so well, Brian is calm and Scotty is happy and wild.

I was feeding the snake, and attempted to feed him one rat instead of four mice.  Unfortunately he couldn't open his mouth enough, and never did succeed at eating the rat.  The next day, Brian was still annoyed at Soloman for not trying hard enough.  I told him, "The rat was bigger then him, that would be like you swallowing me.  Could you swallow me?" With out a beat, he looks at me like I am an idiot and says, "Mom, I don't eat people."

Scotty and I aren't morning people.  Today Scotty refused to say what he wanted, so instead just screamed, this woke Brian up and he comes out and says, "Mom, your baby is crying too loud." I agreed, and asked if he knew what Scotty wanted.  He thought and watched him for a while, and said, "I give up, he's not my baby, you figure it out."  Little snot!  Finally I just sent Scotty to his room and when he came out calm Brian says, "Scotty isn't screaming and crying anymore! I think he wanted a time out!"

 

Brian was helping me get Scotty ready for bed, and I snapped some pictures.

 

 

 

Scotty is really enjoying having a 3 person cheer squad every time he attempts to use the toilet.  He isn't nearly close to being potty trained, but he's getting there!

Brian is nearly 4.  I don't even know what to think about that!  He is getting so big, and smart!  Every day he does something that makes me so proud I could burst.

Todd is doing great, his deployment is canceled, for now.  We are excited that we might be able to have him home for the holidays after all!

I work a lot now days.  My job is actually pretty fun and exciting, I am waiting tables at a local brewery, sometimes the money is great, and other times it's a joke, but you have to roll with the punches I guess!  Plus most of my co-workers are pretty awsome!

I guess that's all for now, our camera is broken, so there won't be any pictures until we get a new one, we are discussing being able to get one soon though, so holiday pictures can be posted for you to enjoy!

Sorry it's been so long since I posted, there is so much going on over here these days, that I get a little wrapped up in myself and my boys that I lose track of a few things.

Yesterday Scotty said to me, "I nee poooo!" And then ran to the toilet, I took his diaper off, sat him, and he actually pooped on the potty! I knew his daddy had been working with him (I gave up on EC and really didn't intend to start potty training until he turned 2) but I didn't know he was making such progress!
