Drew update!

So I feel like I have been updating you on Kylee and not Drew, so here is a whole post dedicated to Drew. Wow, what can a say, this boy has been showing some sass lately. I think he sees Kylee pulling tantrums and he thinks has to do the same thing. Too bad no one wins with tantrums in this house. In October, I singed Drew up for a class that the City of Gilbert puts together. It was so nice to have his neighbor friend do it with him. He loved it and it gave me a 45 min. break that always flew by. Since doing that class, I have seen such growth in Drew. He is growing up right before my eyes. He is talking better and man his vocabulary has doubled. I was so glad I signed him up for another class that started the beginning of January. This class is like a pre-preschool class and I love that it is an hour long. They are only 1 day a week, which I think is perfect for him right now. It amazes me how much that little brain soaks up in just an hour. So it is nice for Drew to have a break from the house once a week and go to his class.

Drew is starting to actually play with Kylee and I love it. They spent a good 30 min. in his room playing one day without any problems. I was amazed. He still loves his trucks and trains and is starting to ride his bike more, rather than play with his coupe car. Once challenge we are dealing with now is monsters. Ever since going to Utah, Drew has been scared going to bed and thinks there are monsters in his room. We have done everything to squash this fear but every night is still a fight to go to bed. Tonight only took me 5 min. to put him to bed rather than 20 min so maybe it is getting better. Only time will tell. Also, my little Drew is now a Sunbeam!! I still can't believe that. He is the youngest one in his class, and it shows. He is really struggling because he wants to play with the toys and not sit in a chair. The first Sunday he sat on his teacher's lap squirming and being quite disruptive. That week for Family Home Evening we talked about how we are to sit in Primary and being reverent. He did better the next Sunday but it will take time with him. The embarrassing part is he has to take his blanket with him and that thing is so ragged, but if it helps I guess I will just swallow my pride.

I have to share this little story because it made me laugh. So we have 10:30 AM church now and it has its pros and cons. Well, Kylee had a rough night so after Sacrament Ryan took her home to eat lunch and put her down for an early nap. I went with Drew to the car to get his blanket so he could take it to Primary, and he saw Ryan in the car and asked where he was going. Knowing Drew doesn't like to take early naps I told him Daddy was taking Kylee home to take a nap. He said he wanted to go too. I told him he could either go home and take a nap or go to Primary. He of course chose Primary. So I walked him to the Primary room, and as we entered and began walking to his chair, he starts to cry and turns to me and says he want to go home and take a nap. I smiled, and really laughed inside, and told him no he needed to go to Primary. He didn't argue with me but continued to cry. The things a child will do to not go to Primary!
