Toddler Quirks

Lately, I have noticed that my toddler's are developing all sorts of funny little quirks.

All of the sudden, Kaiden only wants to sit in the window and watch for traffic to go by.

He gets soo excited over the idea that his most favorite thing, a car, might just drive by!

Kai also "Ooo's" and "Ahh's" every time one actually does. Today, he managed to get past me while I was trying to go through the baby gate.

He ran into my bedroom, which is normally off limits, and climbed up onto the cedar chest that sits on my bedroom bay window.

I couldn't get mad at him, either. He just sat there with his little legs crossed, his thumb in his mouth, anxiously anticipating the possibility of traffic.

He is soo cute when he does that. Unfortunately, it can also be very dangerous.

I have also caught him dragging chairs and even a small end table over to one of our living room windows so he can climb up and see over the fence.

He normally just wants to look in between the houses behind us and see if the neighbors across the street on the other side of us are home so he can count their cars.

I am always worried that he will fall. One day, he got so carried away, that he caught his finger on the window lock and cut himself.

Meanwhile, my daughter has taken to hoarding shoes. At first, it was isolated to only HER shoes, which was fine.

Today, she wandered around playing with her toys, dragging her brother's Thomas the Train Engine shoe around with her.

She is sleeping with that same shoe even now, strangely enough! I suppose I should be grateful that she didn't insist upon trying to wear, it I suppose!

As I write this, I am listening to Kian and Bregon play song games together in the living room.

Bregon will sing "E" and wait for Kian to chime in with "I" and they will go back and forth until Kian finally decides to sing "O."

Today, Bregon decided to see if Kian does the same thing with his other favorite songs and has tried singing "Hee" to which Kian promptly chimed in with "Haw."

He even finished the rest of the "Tough tough tough" song from The Backyardigans, with Bregon's help!

Oops, I need to wrap this up now. From the sound of it, Bregon's singing is now muffled, and I hear him knocking on the door asking to be let out.

It sounds as if the babies have all three shut him in the pantry in hopes of getting to share whatever after school snack he is trying to choose.

They are each soo very funny with their silly little quirks that they have developed!
