They love story time, and reading together:
(You should see how freaking adorable these 2 are at the library story times.... they both like to sit in my lap and since Jax is usually in his carrier strapped to me he sits higher, and rests his arm on Taj's shoulders..... it really looks like he has his little arm around his big bro!) I will take a picture of this soon!
They love to take baths together:
They have even slept together in their matching cribs in their snazzy boys bachelor pad (major props to Daddy Brad for the awesome letters on the wall he made)
Notice I said "have even slept together" in past tense? There is a reason for that LOL They slept in the same room for about 3 nights before I finally threw in the towel and moved Jax back into his room (aka guest room.) Once mama gets her sleep back she has a tough time giving it up again! Especially since Jax went from sleeping all night (8-6am) to 8-2am and waking up for a feeding. He regressed in his sleeping through the night when we moved him into his crib into the same room as Taj. Not that the boys woke each other up or anything (Taj slept through the whole night, and the second Jax whimpered I ran to him and took him out of the room to nurse him.) Whether it was the humidifier, the change in mattress firmness, temperature, etc.... our little angel began to wake earlier and by me running to him so quick when he woke was only encouraging him to wake like this night after night. Even the kids' pediatrician advised the best time to have the boys share a room is when Jax is at least 2 years old. By then both boys are past the unpredictable night wakings, teething, etc, and most importantly Taj (who would be close to 4 years old) will have transitioned to his toddler bed by this time and learned to stay in his bed instead of fighting it AND mastered staying dry all night (potty training)). Well at least we tried, and maybe we will try again in the future before Jax is 2. Taj loved having Jax in the room with him, he always points out their colors "Jax is green, and Taji is blue!" The one night the boys went back to sleeping in different rooms, Taji noticed right away and was asking if Jax was going night-night with him. So relieved we have a choice in the matter too, that we have a guest room Jax can temporarily use as his room, and that we are planning to move into a bigger house in which each child will be lucky enough to have their own room.
