Are the terrible two's an excuse?

Greatest apologies everyone!! I know I'm LONG overdue for an entry. Can I blame it on the terrible twos?
Let's see...what's new?....
Well, about 2 weeks ago, the boys graduated to the "big boy" class at school (ie the 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 year old class). They transitioned with absolutely no problem, and their teachers say they are doing wonderfully. She sent home pictures last week of Cody doing a puzzle which she said is "usually hard" for 2 year olds to do! Our smart boy!!! This class is also the main potty training class (Lord bless that teacher), so we now bring pull-ups to school instead of diapers. Tadd and I talked the other day and decided we have to start really pushing the potty training. It's so time consuming but it will be so worth it in the end!! Blake is very close. He will tee-tee on the potty, and tries really hard to please us. I think with him it's just a matter of practice. Cody on the other hand....not too interested!! He's not too happy when we set him on the potty (understatement), so we need to work on becoming "friends" with the potty, and maybe find some incentives he'll work for.
Both of them still continue to amaze us daily with their vocabulary. They can both fairly accurately sing their ABC's (see video below), and they love to sing Twinkle Twinkle and the Itsy Bitsy spider. We're working on colors (Cody thinks everything is "green") and we're counting to ten! Cody mimics our phrases moreso than Blake, so we imagine he'll be the first to embarass us with an "adult" phrase somewhere in public.
That's enough for now! Don't want to overload ya! And I know what you really want are pictures!! Here's a video of Blake singing his ABC's ... and discovering his image in the faucet. The boys are just a little camera shy, so pics are hard to come by, but I'll share what I can get.
And I promise to update again SOON!!!

The audio of off on the video for some reason...I'm working on that!
