Funny quirks


***

It seems like we have been so busy lately, but we really haven't. I guess that's what happens when you are still trying to adjust to daylight savings.

Ever since Hunter has moved to a bigger bed, he has to have all of his favorite toys with him before he goes to sleep and they all have to be lined up perfectly. It was getting kind of frustrating because he would come wake us up if he got a little car stuck in the big truck or if he lost one of his toys, but we still let him sleep with all those toys because we think it is so funny.

I've noticed such a difference between Hunter and Jaina, besides the obvious, as they've grown up. Hunter has always been obsessive about things. When he was Jaina's age, he went through a stage where he wouldn't come downstairs until all the bedroom doors were closed. He also always had to have a pen or spoon in his hand and he hated having dirty hands. Do you think we should be worried about OCD?!

Jaina isn't obsessive about anything, but you don't ever want to look at her the wrong way. Yesterday, while standing in line at the store, a sweet old lady behind us was saying hi to Jaina. Jaina just looked at her and said "NO, my bee-bee (Blankie)" like this sweet lady was going to take her priceless blanket. I looked at Jaina and said "Oh, you be nice." and she just looked at me with cross eyes. Where do these kids get there funny personalities?
