So our kids are totally weird. They should never have a problem with the fact that WE are their parents because in my opinion they are going to top our weird behavior before to long. But I guess what can you expect with as dorky as we are! Zayda is incredibly ticklish which I get is not too odd, but I think the fact that her most ticklish spot is right around her boobs next to her arm pits is pretty friggin' odd. And her preference for nipples on her bottles. Can't be the silicone one, and doesn't want to nurse from the real thing, she wants the hard-to-find latex ones. And sometimes those you even have to squeeze her in mouth before she'll start doing it herself. So kay, that might be more just plain lazy then weird.
But Steven, boy, that kid takes the cake. The oddest thing to date is sticking his finger in his diaper only to remove a poopy finger and licking it. And he didn't seem to upset about it either. just odd and ewwwww! Plus his little penchant for squirelling things around in places whether it be food or toys, it's just odd. That and you never know where you are going to find a snack or a toy.

So yes, our kids may be totally weird but they are also the cutest things around. I love that Zayda likes to be rocked and held very close while she is eating. I mean, she doesn't just want to eat, she wants to be LOVED while she eats. too cute. And Steven, no matter how naughty he has been that day, nothing beats after bath and before bed when he wants to sit as close to you as possible and read book after book. It makes you say it's okay just so that you can sit and cuddle with him some more.

And then the icing is when the kids are sweet to each other. I caught Steven giving Zayda a kiss on the mouth and it about melted my heart. It's moments like that one that make all the sleepless nights, temper tantrums and outright naughtiness just be okay. wouldn't trade it for anything.
