Alex learned how to get up on the counter and brush his teeth himself. He showed Will how to do it and the footstool Will always used is no longer needed.

If Alex has been quiet for too long, we know he's in the bathroom brushing his teeth. (He does a good job of only putting a tiny bit of toothpaste on the brush! Now if he could just learn to spit.) When you read below all the sweet stuff we have in our house, you'll see this is a good thing!

Will figured out how to do this "ladder" at the playground last year (he was 3 then). Alex, at 2, has discovered he really likes to go on it too! (Picture by Daddy's camera phone.)

Meanwhile, Will is LOVING playing baseball/T-ball. He has decided he wants to be a baseball player when he grows up (I'm not sure if this is along with a fireman, truck driver, race car driver and construction worker or instead of those).  So we have a few short videos of him and Alex. They are short, and GrandmaLo, it won't matter if you don't have sound.

Will can hit the ball off the tee without knocking over the tee some of the time. This time he did knock it over. But the reason we let you see that one is because of the video of Alex, next. First, you have to realize Alex was looking up at an airplane in this video. Then James gets his attention and he tries to hit the ball. But he's not content to just hit the ball, he wants to be JUST like his brother!
