I was just thinking today of all the quirky little things my bears do. I know everyone does them, but today - just for posterity, I guess - I wanted to list them.

Jack:
1. He rubs his baby (blankie) on his face when he drinks milk. He also is known to pull up his pant legs and shirt so that the silky side of his big blankie (father to Baby) can touch his skin.
2. He loves his blankets to be cold and likes us to shake them out so that they get cool. He is very cranky pants if his blankies get sat on and get hot. What a nut!
3. He cannot be bothered in the morning until after his jolt of morning java..aka milk. Sort of like me and not talking until after I've showered.
4. He remembers EVERYTHING. Six months after the fact, he will remember minute details of random encounters.
5. He always puts his feet under my legs or between them - even if we are under the covers.
6. He has to have his closet doors closed at night. I'm not sure if this is a fear of what lurks in their dark corners or if he is just anal like me. Both?

Charlotte:
1. She fake coughs because it gets our attention and because she gets a huge kick out of it.
2. In between bites of food, she chews on her thumb.
3. She pants when she wants me to hold her - and tries not to laugh while doing it.
4. Her yellow blankie is already her favorite to sleep with.
5. When I lay her in bed, she immediately rolls to the exact same spot every time - curled into a ball on her left side with her head touching the bumper pad.
6. She loves spatulas. A future chef?

The kiddos have been swimming and both love the water. Summer is in full swing with baseball (bat boy pics to come), heat, and house projects. We are all busy but loving life and everything that goes along with it.
