Tiny Tidbits

Here are some interesting tidbits on my lovely children:

* They both eat a banana (or part of one) and drink a glass of milk before bedtime every night....EVERY night.
* Sophia picks her nose and then asks me to take the booger off of her finger.
* They both love french toast and eggs for breakfast. Pancakes are a big hit too...James will eat 2-4 pancakes at one sitting.
* Sophia went a full year of eating only oatmeal in the morning before Daddy introduced her to french toast. Gone are the days of easy oatmeal.
* James like to wear only one shoe (of his Stride Rites...he will wear his Robeez without any problems)
* Sophia procrastinates at bedtime by having you name all of the people in the Bible.
* James drinks about 36 - 48 oz of whole milk every day ... and he is still skinny as a rail!
* They both LOVE playing in their play kitchen.
* Sophia wants earrings so she can look even more like a princess.
* James loves wagon rides.
* Sophia doesn't want to learn how to pedal...."that for boys" is what she says.
* I think James is happier when he is dirty from head to toe.
* Sophia is happier when she is clean.
* Sophia requests that her feet are washed with soap and water when she comes in from playing outside...even if she does have her shoes on.
* James' side of the table is always clean when we are done eating...because all of the food he doesn't want to eat is on the floor.
* Sophia will eat fruit all day long if I let her.
* James will eat ice cream all day long if I let him.
* Sophia gets excited when the neighbor boys come outside to play. She says Taylor is her friend.
* Sophia has put in a request for a new baby sister...and when she says it, she says it like it is all that she has ever dreamed of.
* James is right-handed. It is very obvious already.
* Sophia seems to be right-handed too but she will still use her left hand for things.
* James tries to open the door to his bedroom from his crib. He is getting close to actually opening it.
* James loves to ride on Daddy's shoulders...it's a good view from there.
* Sophia wants to feed all of us with a spoon. Open wide!
* James laughs at people dancing...Hello Ellen!
* Sophia thinks a bandaid fixes everything. Yesterday she had on 8 bandaids and tonight she wanted one on Daddy's lip for "a red spot".
* Sophia says some books are for boys and some books are for girls. Where she gets this we have no idea.
* James will take off the floor register covers and throw his toys down into the duct work. I have no idea how many toys we have lost this way. Today he threw his Stride Rites down there but I was able to get them out.

Mommy confession: I love bath time...I do. The kids play...or scream...and water gets everywhere and James and Sophia crawl all over each other and pour water on each other and laugh a lot oh, it's so much fun. However, there are many days where I would rather wash the dirty bed sheets in the morning than wash the dirty child at night. Sorry, but I have those days.
