Reptile Child

Its always amazing the different things each child will do. I remember Jack as a baby, we would call him our little cappacchino maker since he would make this frothey throat gurgle. It was so precious. Will was just always smiling, always. And Ella, well, I think she is half reptile. Her tounge is so incredibly long. It is so adorable the way she talks non-stop and then smiles with her tounge sticking out. Her tounge just has to be part of her communication. Maybe its because I would stick my tounge out at her when she was only a week old. Whatever it is, none of our other kids were even capible of doing that.

Jack now has a whole in his mouth where two perfect little baby teeth used to live. He is so proud of his new milestone. Will on the otherhand was feeling left out. Last week he was really wanting his out too. Jack instructed him to "shake them out". So Will started to shake his whole body. When I asked him what he was doing he said "I'm trying to shake my teeth out." Then for some reason he thought he could get them out with a scissors. I had to hide all our scissors after he came out of his room with a scissors open wide trying to cut out his teeth. Not very safe, but pretty funny.
