More Random-ness

Malachi ate broccoli last night!!! He ate 3 "flowers" of good sized pieces of broccoli. It was frozen and then "cooked" in a pot. Ezekiel will also eat a few small pieces of broccoli when offered. The only other time Malachi had eaten broccoli was about a week before when I had a salad. He asked if he could have one (raw), dipped it in ketchup, and ate the flowers. He called the stem of it a bone. As in, "No, My eat a bone." This is the only vegetable that he has eaten since baby food. Woo-hoo!

Ezekiel finally got to move up to the one year old room today at church. His "teachers" said he was great and had a lot of fun. I knew he would enjoy it much more with all the walkers. Now, he's right across the hallway from Malachi. That means it is a little easier for drop-offs before church.

Ezekiel has also busted his lip twice and his nose once. He busted his lip for the second time yesterday. The first time was Easter Sunday when I was in the nursery with him. The nose bleed happened the day before at FA's Eggstravaganza. The first nose and lip happened because he was holding items in his mouth while walking, then fell. His lip never swelled much. Most of the bleeding took place inside his mouth. I don't have a clue how he started bleeding yesterday. Go figure!

Malachi is wearing pull-ups now. I tried at the beginning of Spring Break, but my nerves couldn't handle it. He just doesn't seem to care about going potty. So, we've decided since he won't go potty, he at least gets to change his own pee-pee diaper. We still do poop. We try to get him to do most of the changing of his clothes now. He can do it but usually doesn't like to try hard enough and asks for help quickly.

Malachi is a good big brother. Yesterday, Ezekiel was crying in his crib while the 2 were trying to nap. Malachi walked over and got his "bop" that dropped out of the crib and went back to lay down. Ezekiel was immediately quiet and went to sleep. He really does look out for his little brother a lot.

Ezekiel has been on one nap a day for about a week and a half now. He was close over spring break, but he sealed the deal when he started his new mood about a week ago. Most of the time, he will refuse to go to sleep unless Malachi is going to sleep with him in their room---more brotherly bonding!
