more notes on the kids

i can barely stay awake at the end of the day so blogging has unfortunately fallen to the bottom of my list of things to do. so here is just a list of notes and pictures.

- mason likes hair, but he almost immediately tries to release it when you say "gentle"

- our two little thumb-suckers

- i call this one, "maybe crumbs weren't a good idea". mason eats everything and i run out of appropriate food sometimes. after he ate almost everything in the bag, i turned it over to dump the last few pieces out and there were a lot of crumbs - a lot. he still thought that it tasted pretty good.

- yesterday madelyn was reciting a book in the car and i helped her with the last line - "then you are a star". she said, "no, i am not a star!...i don't have my sunglasses." i told her that i didn't have her sunglasses. she told me that she couldn't be a star without her sunglasses. that's when i realized what she was talking about; people often call her a "movie star" when she is wearing her sunglasses. i tried to tell her that she could still be a 'star' without sunglasses, but she said that she was "just madelyn".

- for some reason madelyn likes to play under our dining room table with her toolbox - and mason.

- mason heads to his high chair when we ask him if he wants to "eat" - that is one word he definitely knows.

- he also knows madelyn's name and finds her whenever i ask where she is

- madelyn cut up her own banana at breakfast

- mason really likes music. he always notices music and will try to use anything as an instrument. and shows real interest in playing instruments correctly. madelyn has always liked music, but mason is much more focused about it.

- madelyn told me that dragons are real and pretend. they are "real" on little einsteins. okay, madelyn.

now off to bed. love.
