Forgot to post this while it was actually fall.
Ammon:
Favorite song: Old MacDonald. He sings "ei ei eee." He also likes "Jump Jump Went the Little Green Frog". I played Old MacDonald on the piano for Ammon with him sitting on my lap and he kept wanting me to play it over and over again.
Says "wa" for water or when he wants to watch a show. He has been saying "wa" a lot lately.
We pet sat a kitten for a few days and Ammon fell in love. He followed her around and meowed.
He points out cats every time he sees a picture of one with an enthusiastic "ow! ow!" until the cat is acknowledged.
Ammon has also learned to dance to music. He will either bob with his knees or wave his arms.
I got him to poop on the toilet twice. The first time he thought it was pretty great. He kept climbing back on to clap and shout hooray over and over.
He loves dental floss. We have a cinnamon flavored floss and Ammon blew on it to make it less hot.
Quin:
Has been speaking more clearly and acted more compliant since starting preschool. He is so excited to go to school on school days and seems reluctant to leave when I pick him up. On non-school days he sometimes asks to go to school and is very disappointed when I say no.
He is a budding vocalist and can sing several nursery rhymes on pitch.
His Captain America obsession has faded into a Superman craze. He has been superman most days lately. He and Ammon were Batman and Robin for Halloween.

"Da baby is wuvs you" and "Captain America is wuvs you."
"I have muscles like batman."
Fighting sound effect is "wha push" and it's really cute.
"Good job solving your problem!"
"Almond milk is so much fun!"
Playing with nativity dolls, made Mary take baby Jesus out of the swaddling blanket and said "The mom gets the baby out of the baby toaster."
"A little bit yes."
"My strong muscles will be there at the fight."
"It's a part of my life to love you."
"Look! There's Christmas over there. Are you ready to be a Christmas mom?'
He heard Ammon waking up from a nap and ran upstairs, then said, "I am a good helper. I help babies get out of their beds."
"I love Mr. Grinch so much."
"Breakfast is not for breakfast."
When asked "What did the pilgrims eat?" Answer: "Play and dragons. Vegetables, carrots, and ranch. Buffalo and dragonfruit." He actually ate buffalo and dragonfruit at preschool.
"Deoderant is full of wonderful things."
"Let's go follow the prophet!"
After I accompanied a song in primary he ran up to me and said, "Good job playing the piano!"
"This is the color blue. The color blue helps me be happy."
"This is the Christmas tree. The Christmas tree helps me be happy."
"Momma is the best."
"Look at my back. There's muscles on my back! One, two! They're really big."
I was having a rough day. Michael asked Quin what he could do to help me be happy. Quin's response: "Make things die."
"I need to eat some green beans and apple so I can get big... and fat."
"Look at my sword! It's so magicy."
"I'm so beautiful because I'm wearing my church clothes."
What do you want to be when you grow up? "Bigger and bigger and bigger!"
You could be a firefighter or police officer. He added "or superman..."
"There are so many superheroes I want to be!"
"Quin is a tall boy. He is going to drive a car and a fire truck."
I have been trying to notice the times he is being good and point it out. Today he did the same to me. "Look at you! You're stirring the pot!"
