I am glad to report that the 18 month checkup went great on all accounts. The bloodwork looks clean and the Chimerim came back 100% Ryan!
Zev is now a little taller and a bit heavier than his brother. He still does not run as fast as Benjamin (to be objective, few four year olds do) and does get tired a little sooner. However, when he is distracted and has a goal to walk to, he does great. On a longer walk that does not include running sprints, the boys walk equally well.
Both of the boys love swimming and both could not care less for soccer. They are certainly game to practice the skills and celebrate getting a ball into the goal like the pros, but any attempt to get them to participate in a team game results in them walking off, staying on the sidelines, or, in Zev's case, lying down for a nap on the field.
Benjamin loves Legos and can build a set meant for six year old mostly alone. Over the winter break we built some "12+" toys together. Zev could not care less for Legos, prefers trains, and both still love cars and airplanes. Zev, however, is distinctly better at drawing.
Both are starting a to recognize letters. They do not quite read anything yet, but Zev did recently read O-F-F on a light switch and almost-just-nearly read "OFF" and "ON".
Sleep is pretty good most night (thank G-D, about effing time!) and fights with the boys, while occasionally bitter, are not a daily occurrence. At least not for each parent.
