Just for the record

I am going to work on the German traditions, I promoise. In the mean time, I wanted record some funny (strange, or ha ha--depending on how you see it) things the kids are doing recently.

Not that I have any great clevage or anything, but Jenna likes to put things down the front of my shirt "for storage". She puts blocks, her binki, play food etc. Weird!

Lately Niklas has been "practicing" his words by sayings them (usually me) in a higher tone voice then repeating it again in a lower tone (his usual response).
And other things: Niklas may have inherited some anxiety-related genetics from me. Not only does he really like order (cleaning thing and putting them back in their place) but he has developed what seems to be a tic or compulsion with rubbing the top of his head or stomach. It isn't done at times of comfort, that I can tell, but at random times he rubs and rubs. When I think about it, at Halloween he had some of this going on (rubbing his tummy), but I didn't make anything of it. He also has a bad rash on his face, which looks suspiciously like the rash I had when I was pregnant with him. When I took him (and Jenna) to the doctor yesterday they took his blood to test for allergies. Which got me to wondering if he is allergic to cinnamin, because that was the cause when I was pregnant. It is is everything right now (lebkuchen etc), so that may be the cause. We'll see.

I thought you could enjoy this picture of them too.
