Why our kids are weird

Nate and I often joke about how strange our kids are.  Seriously, they are total oddballs.  Here are a few things that make our kids weird...

1.  They LOVE getting their teeth brushed.  They excitedly line up and wait for their turn.  Noah just finished crying about the fact that I took his toothbrush and told him to go play. 

2.  They line up to get their nails clipped and ears cleaned and will even ask for me to do either of those things.

3.  They love bedtime.  We tell them it's time for bed and to go find their Elmo (they all have a stuffed Elmo in bed) and up the stairs they go.  They jump in bed for a few minutes and then lay down and go to sleep.  It's rare that someone cries at bedtime.  It's usually because they're really tired.

4.  They love sitting on the potty.  We have little potty's that are a big hit.  Everyone wants to try to go on the potty.

5.  They really don't watch t.v.  I wish sometimes that they did.  I turned on Thomas this morning for them so I could take a shower.  When I came back down they have ripped apart my filing cabinet.  Awesome.  I really wanted to reorganize all my files this morning (note: read that with heavy sarcasm).

6.  They would rather eat sauteed peppers and onions than macaroni and cheese.  Reese asks for sausage of some sort at every meal, Aiden loves plain lettuce, Noah loves cucumbers and avacado.  Don't get me wrong I'm very glad that they like healthy foods, it's just not what I expected.  We always expose them to a wide variety of food in hopes that they find a lot of healthy food they like.  I guess starting to feed them these foods early helped.  Peer pressure helps too.  If they see their brother eating it they can't be outdone.

7.  They "help" with laundry.  Yesterday I put a basket in the living room and they collected the laundry from the hamper and the laundry they had scattered around the room.  I know that will end, but it's nice that they like to help!

I'm sure there are other things I left out, but those are a few of the most notable.  I love my little weirdos.  My favorite things are the things that make them so unique.
