Children of the Weird: Strange things they do

I've been tagged by Brett over at DadTalk on this list. A list of the weird things the kids do.


1. We received a acrylic fuzzy blue with cloud blanket at the Princess' baby shower. We liked it. It went along with the Star/Moon/Sky theme we had in the bedroom we created for her. When she was first born, we used it as a second blanket over her. My daughter is now 5. She STILL sleeps with that blanket. The blanket has a name. FUZZY. When she goes to sleep it has to be right next to her head. She snuggles with it before she drifts off to bed. When she first wakes up? She rubs her face into it.




2. When we brush his teeth, the Bear will scrunch up his eyes while his mouth is open. Why? I dunno. Maybe because he thinks we're going to poke him in eye with the toothbrush? That the toothpaste bubbles will pop in his eyes? I dunno.




3. My discrete and sweet little girl has a crazy routine when she comes home from school. As soon as the Princess gets home, she'll take off all her clothes. Then she'll pull any kind of hairtie or clip(s) out of her hair. She'll shake her head around so her hair gets crazy. By then she looks like she's been living in the jungle. Then she'll go upstairs and run around for a while. Naked as a jaybird. Hair all askew. Maybe she wants to feel the air against her skin? Maybe she's running off the rest of the school energy? Whatever. Then 15 minutes or so later, she'll come down. Fully dressed, yes. But in shorts and a tank top. Even when I'm in long sweats and a sweatshirt. Brrr...




4. When my son finishes eating. He'll hop down from his chair. Then he asks one of us to help his "washa-hans?". Then he'll do a side-walk-saunter over to the kitchen sink. His hands in front of his chest with his elbows out. His shoulders will swish right-left-right-left as he's moving with his elbows going forward right-left-right-left. Then his little booty. His hips swish right-left-right-left. And then instead of leadng with his knee forward, he swings his feet out to the sides. And he's not walking people. He's trotting/running like this. [he-he-he-he...]




5. Then there's this business of my son and his pull-ups. He HAS to wear Buzz Lightyear pull-ups. No other character will do. The kid had a FIT at daycare when they tried to put the ones with Pooh in front on him. He just had to have Buzz guarding his crotch. Yes. A slight obsession with Buzz Lightyear. Anytime he jumps off anything he's got his arms out in the 'plane' position and he says "To in-fin-nee an beyon...."





But my kids? With all their quirks and foibles? Makes them oh so more endearing ot me.
