nose talk

The boys were playing with a small elephant (Nathan) and a small lion (Matthew). Here's the dialog
Matthew: Do you have a trunk nose?
Nate: Yeah
Matt: Why?
Nate: To get water and splash it. Do you have a trunk nose??
Matt: No, I have a stuffed nose

lol :)

Sensitive nose

Today Nathan asked me "who's smoking mommy? Smoking is bad, right?". We recently had started telling them that smoking was bad and every time someone was smoking we would leave the place as soon as possible. He actually associated the smell with the fact and is now very aware of it.
When he was a baby he would cry whenever we were close to the perfume section in a department store. Yep, sensitive nose, like mommy :)

belly addiction

The boys love to touch (rub, pinch, etc) my belly a lot. I am not sure exactly where it came from, but they probably picked it up when I was nursing them. They would touch my tummy while I fed them.
I've tried to get them to stop, but it's going slowly. I think it's their security blanket (a blanket would have been much easier). They touch it before sleeping and when they don't see me for a long time (and are tired).

Today, in their nap, Matt was rubbing Nathan's belly :) cute, although in general there is no substitute for mommy's belly

Pizza for lunch

So *sometimes* I do have to give in to fast food... This Tuesday after school we went to Pizza Hut - the boys specifically asked for it.
It was a carry out place only, so I was planning to bring it back to eat at home. They didn't share the idea and wanted to eat in the car. Good thing, because they were knocked out when we got home. Some pics of them sleeping


Matthew eats all the cheese and the ham in his pizza - see the messy face


Nathan eats everything, as usual
