Valentines

Since Emily is in preschool this year she gets to experience all the little parties. They celebrated "my heart day" as Em calls it and with that she wanted to make cupcakes for her classmates. So after the boys went to bed I let her have full reign of the kitchen. She did very well for a 3 year old. Her favorite part was putting the sprinkles on the cupcakes (as well as the table, floor, herself, etc.) I enjoyed every minute of it and she loved it and that is all that matters!

2 Little boys with RSV

The month of February was not dull by any means. There is Valentines Day, birthdays and lets not forget cold season. It started with Hunter and having a twin the rule is to always share right? Well Hunter came down with RSV and three days later Ruger decided he too must join in all the fun. Except Ruger decided to take the virus a little more serious and not eat. Within hours of hospitalization my Mom took matters into her own hands and basically made Ruger eat. It worked, thanks Mom. Needless to say we were housebound for 2 weeks, antibiotics for ear infections, and a lovely machine called a nebulizer four times a day. It was a sad two weeks for the Dial household!

It is just starting.....

So I have just realized what the next (oh who knows how long) maybe several years are going to be like. Since Hunter has discovered how to be mobile he seems to know how to torture Ruger at the same time. Instead of going around or just leaving Ruger be, Hunter has decided that he needs to crawl over him. This is not a quick process and Ruger will let you know about it the entire time! I am waiting for the day when Ruger will fight back and he will, so in the meantime I am trying to prepare myself for the inevitable wrestling matches that will take place within this home very shortly!

Cuddle Bug!

Ruger is my little cuddle bug. He loves to snuggle and is just content when your holding him. He could care less if he was on the floor rolling around like his brother, just as long you were holding him!

Aww Carrots!

So we tried giving the boys carrots the other day. Ruger loved them, Hunter on the other hand, not so much. Everytime Ryan would give him a spoonful Hunter thought that spitting them out would be way cooler. Needless to say we had carrots every where, mostly on Hunter!
