Twins getting bigger & older

It's hard to believe the boys are growing up so fast. They turned 3 in December. I'm not sure where the time went. They are very active boys. Austin is the more dominant one. Where as Landon is more laid back & easy going. Landon relies on Austin to do things for him. We are trying to get them more independent.
Both boys have been slow on talking. They always did this thing I called "Twin Talking." They could have conversations in their own little world & understand each other where others couldn't. It was so fun to watch. So we started letting them have in home speech therapy. Austin started picking things up quickly but after 6 months Landon had no improvement. We found out last May that the reason Landon wasn't improving was because he could not hear. I took him to a specialist & they did surgery on him. Putting tubes in his ears.  He has perfect hearing now. The tubes are still in his ears & he has lots of ear aches & drainage. But he is learning to talk at last. In January they got to start taking speech class in the public school. Each have their own class. They go twice a week for an hour.  I think they both have improved greatly. I can see a big difference.

We are currently working on potty training. For some reason we are having a hard time getting this done. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Most of the time I take them & they have already gone before we get there or we just sit on the potty. I have tried stickers, targets, books, you name it. I have to get them potty trained before summer is over because they start preschool in the fall.
I can't hardly believe it's time for them to start pre-school. I have no idea where the time went. Seems like they were just crawling on the floor learning to walk.
They have been such a blessing in my life.

This May we are taking them to Florida to Disney World.  I'm looking forward to the trip. We are going to be gone almost 2 weeks. On the way home we are going to NC where I'm getting to see my childhood friend Shari whom I met when we were 6. We are both 36 now so it's been a 30 year friendship. I'm so excited to get to go see her. I haven't seen her in 16 years. 
I'll be sure to post how our trip goes & all about our reunion!
