Justus sings Twinkle, Twinkle to his little brother.  We have had almost no jealousy issues with our sweet big brother.  It was amazing to us the connection between our two boys.  It was instant.  I realized Miles had probably heard Justus’s voice more than any other in utero, so it made sense.  Miles quiets down when Justus is around.  Now that he is getting more alert, he also loves to just watch/listen to his big brother play.  If anything we have to stay on Justus to not “cuddle” his brother too much :)

Justus sings the Bama Fight Song. He definitely has his father’s knack for remembering song lyrics!

He doesn’t sing this one as well, but his antics are hilarious.

Every night before bed, I tell Justus a story.  We’ve made up all kinds of stories about pirates, cars, dinosaurs, etc.  Sometimes I just tell the story and sometimes it’s more of a Mad Libs kind of thing.  Anyway as a result, he’s a pretty big storyteller himself.  One of his favorite games is a matching game…well I’ll let him explain the rules and tell you a story about a banana and ice skates :)

a kite and a hotdog: My favorite part of all these stories, he “put his ‘umbrella’ up in the air and he couldn’t reach it and he pull and pull and pull.”

a football and a car:

Pre-school Halloween Party: a not-so-good attempt at getting 3 & 4 year olds to play Hot Potato.  They all were more interested in what happened when you got out (candy, of course) than the actual game.

Sweet Miles is Talking and Smiling: Sorry for the jiggling :)

J2 stories:

Justus and I are playing UNO. I just dealt the cards. He smiles and says, “Oh mom, fancy that!” He’s holding a Reverse card (one of his favorite cards).
Driving through the industrial district of Dallas the other day, J2 blurts out “Shooo…that stinks like Auburn.”
Justus overheard J2 in the bathroom a while back: “I love you poop. Goodbye poop. You came out of my body.” (flush)

Justus refers to pre-school as “going to work.”

He has a little notebook he calls his “bible.”  He keeps it in a special place.  Sometimes he takes it out to “write songs” in it.

Prior to his “bible,” during church, sometimes during the music and sometimes during the sermon, he would start writing songs.  I asked him if it was the ones we were singing.  He said sometimes they were and sometimes they were new ones.  Watch out Wesley brothers!

He’s been wanting a specific car from the Cars movie, but we haven’t been able to find it.  He says he’s “keeping his eye on it, mom.”

The other day he was playing trains.  One of them fell off the bridge.  Justus said “oh my goodness!” with the exact same inflection as Meme :)

Apparently Justus doesn’t talk at pre-school like at all.  His teacher emailed me a couple of weeks ago to tell me he said his first word…In circle time, he answered his favorite color is “green.”  A couple days later, he said his favorite shape was a “square.”  His teacher wanted to know what sparked this sudden conversation and if there was any reason for why he said those two words…Other than his answers being true, I had no idea what to tell her.  He doesn’t stop talking at home :)
