Children are Strange, Mine May Be Stranger
Top five reason why my children are strange:
1) They love Christmas music.* All year round they listen to it on their little cd player they have and sing along at the top of their lungs.
2) My son will not wear collared shirts or shirts with stripes. Oh yeah, and he won’t wear plain gap t-shirts either because they “have a bear tag on them”. The result is that I have at least 20 shirts he will not wear, most of them are brand new.
3) Every night at dinner they say they do not like something on their plate that they have eaten and loved no less then 10 times. They always end up eating it. Now we just ignore their initial disgust.
4) They do not like chicken nuggets, french fries, any kind of potato in any form, eggs, hot dogs or cotton candy. I thought all kids like this stuff!
Not that I want them to like these things, I try to feed them healthy meals but they have been offered these things at parties, fairs and school and neither of them like any of it at all.
Instead they like sushi, feta cheese, peas, sharp cheddar, past with LOTS of parmesean cheese and almonds.
5) They love each other and us. When my husband is at work or if one of us takes another out, the twins ask for each other the whole time. Or one of us.
I am sure this will change in about 4 years or so. I am holding on while it lasts.
* I love Christmas music all year long too, I admit it.

My oldest daughter doesn’t like collars or tutlenecks. My youngest daughter went through terrible phases with clothes. When she was two, she’d only wear pj’s. When she was 3 & 4 it had to be pink & then for a short time it also had to have a butterfly on it. Fun finding pink butterfly clothes, ugh! When she was 5, she started branching out into some other colors, but refused to wear stripes or dark blue. Kids can be strange, LOL.
