Random Factoids

Today, a bunch of random things the kids do that I am sure I will forget soon:

• Grace loves to dance in front of the TV, where she can see herself like in the mirror


• Right now she is really into Laurie Berkner, and that is how we motivate her to get into her carseat quickly


• Viv also likes to dance, she tucks her chin into her chest and bops


• Viv loves to crawl over to the powerstrip and unplug the modem


• Viv seems to like to sleep with her face buried in the mattress


• This morning, out of the blue, Grace started theatrically grabbing her arm saying, "My elbow is freaking, my elbow is freaking! My arm aches, my arm aches!" Then she collapsed into a chair, saying, "I'm going to died!" She is still alive and her arm seems fine!


• Grace LOVES berries. Eating them, picking them, reading books about them. Right now her 2 favorites are Jamberry and Berry Magic. And she just found a movie where Max and Ruby go pick berries--heaven.


• Grace doesn't like me to sing along with her music.


• Viv claps by slapping her tummy.


• Grace recently had a potty training relapse, and the way she got back on track was by having Rob bring home and orange for her each day she kept her panties dry. Who knew the motivation she needed was an orange????


• Grace's "dot blanklie" is apparently a girl. She has started referring to it as "her."


• Viv likes to pull things over her face, then she has a spaz until she pulls it off and you say "Peekaboo." This is one of the few things that makes her laugh.


• Viv crawls by pushing off on one leg, while the other stays still, kind of like she's on a scooter.


• Grace can't wait for Christmas. She asks almost every day when Santa is coming. She also likes to play trick or treat.


• Viv has quick hands. We have to keep the baby food far away from her! She figured out the whole pincer grasp in about 2 days, and she has already figured out how to undo the latch on Homer's crate (that might have just been luck).
