Things You Most Likely Don't Know About My Kids

1. Daniel said his first word at 7 months of age ("Hi" and then "kitty") and his first sentence at 8 months ("Hi Kitty").

2. Zoe said her first recognizable word at 11.5 months of age ("bubba")

3. My favorite scent in the world is the smell of my children wearing sunscreen (specifially the pink bottle instant protection sunscreen)

4. Daniel used to call snowmen "nonies" and dinosaurs "daddydoos."

5. Zoe calls socks "hawks" and her blanket is a "quackie."

6. The children have taken to this new puppy like flies to poo (and likewise her to them)....they're all over her and it's mutual love at first sight!

7. They are both obsessed with Veggie Tales (so are their mommy and daddy, though!!)

8. Daniel is allergic to seasonal pollens, horses, cats and raw tomatoes.

9. Zoe appears to have the same seasonal allergies as her brother and father.

10. Daniel tells anyone who will listen that his best friend is Zoe

11. Zoe is madly devoted to her "bubba" she follows him around everywhere and wants to share everything with him

12. I bought them some new soap and lotion and they smell so amazing on those kids!!

13. Zoe is trying to potty train herself right now....she'll be 2 on Oct 11

14. Daniel didn't potty train until Feb 15 of this year...3 days after he turned 3

15. Both kids play better with other kids when they're not with each other....is that typical or weird?

16. Daniel decided that when Zoe cries shes a baby, and when she's not crying she's a big girl

17. Zoe loves shoes....she's almost as obsessed with shoes as I am!

18. Daniel typically doesn't take naps during the day, but when he does it's heck getting him to bed at bedtime!

19. Zoe goes to bed around the same time every night, regardless of when her nap was.

20. If they don't have naps BOTH kids become holy terrors by 6 pm.

21. They both go to the same school, and they both LOVE it...it's awesome to see them loving school

22. Daniel says the funniest things at the most appropriate times and sometimes they make sense!

23. Zoe discovered today that "Courtney" = "Mommy." She got a big kick out of calling me "Courtney" while at Memaw's house.

24. The kids will only eat a select few vegetables : broccoli, edamame, green beans (sometimes), spinach, and raw carrots.

25. Both kids have runny noses, head colds, and really bad allergies that have turned to sinus infections right now and they're both miserable!! (They've given them to mommy and daddy too, so we're a sick little family right now)


I'll post some more later. I like blogging this way. Maybe next time it'll be funny things the kids did this week....
