Quirky interests

I have learned that each child develops quirky interests all their own. When she was little, Caroline was obsessed with socks. She carried them with her all over the house, put multiple pairs on each foot, packed them in her purses, and wore them on her hands. There were never any socks in her drawer because they always ended up all over the house. Clayton has a similar obsession with spoons (which he calls "dumas". ) He likes to carry around one little wooden spoon and one other spoon. Even when he is trying to play with other toys, he likes to hold them, making it sometimes more difficult to play. However, take one away and he flips out and laments "DUMA!!!!!" He is also obsessed with the canister vacuum. He likes to take the hose and drag it around or just move the hose into different positions. Then he hops on and rides the vacuum. (For some reason this is more fun than our actual ride-on toys that make noise, display lights, etc.)
Oh my funny little bugs. How I love them so.

The other day I found them both inside the baby doll cradle together.

Sure, there are times when they aren't nice to eachother or are jealous, but all in all, they really do love eachother and like eachother's company!
