Hi, My question is does any of your kids have a cute quirk. Mine is that my son likes me to hold his foot when he goes to sleep sometimes
My daughter, in her pajamas... has to line up the center seam of her pajama bottoms... with her belly-button.
It is just her and she has always done that since she was a Toddler. She is now 8.
She is not OCD or anything. Just... quirky.
My son, likes to rub my arm-pits and tells me not to shave.
He likes the "pokey" feel. He also likes my Husband's facial beard when it is stubbly. He rubs my Husband's face too.
all the best,
Susan
My 4.5 year old son has a hard time saying the word "squirrel". He pronounces it as square-ill will two syllables and then laughs and says "hahaha mommy I can't say it!" (He's very good-natured about it, it isn't like crushing his self-esteem or anything)
During meals, my 18 month old will give me 'cute face' meaning he will stop eating and then drop his left ear to his left shoulder and just smile coyly at me. It looks like he is innocently trying to flirt and it is hilarious!
My oldest likes to ties things together, strings and bandanas, wraps, etc....
My youngest is basically only quirks, shes hilarious and never consistent with normalcy
My son is VERY precise. It's only 1130 twice a day in our house. When asked for the time, he'll either give the exact answer 11:28, for example, or say "Well it's YOUR 1130, but if you really want to know, it was 1128 when you asked, and 1129 currently."
Same token, I'm R., whenever there is another female adult (on the off chance they may be a mom) or child present (since he assumes they also have a mom or two of their own). I'm only Mom, when it's just the 2 of us, or just myself and male adults, or if he's explaining something in the possessive. He'll say "MY mom", but then will turn around and call me R..
Quirky much?
My daughter is almost 4 and she won't sleep in her bed - only the floor. She loved, loved, loved her crib but had to sleep in a big girl bed when we went on vacation back in Feb. She did great and got all excited about sleeping in a big girl bed at home. We converted the crib to a toddler bed after we got back and she slept great in it for about a month. Then a few times she woke up in the middle of the night complaining about bad dreams. The only way I could get her back to sleep in her room was to give her the choice of sleeping in bed or in her bean bag chair. She chose the bean bag and after a while I think she started associating the bed with bad dreams. I can't convince her otherwise that the bed has nothing to do with it. Now she insists on sleeping on the floor, with her pillow propped up on the bean bag chair, plus her blanket and stuffed toys. She can't seem to tell me why she prefers this. My husband keeps insisting that she needs to be sleeping in her bed because she will be more comfortable but this is not a battle I am willing to fight with her. At least she is staying in her room and sleeping all night instead of always getting into bed with us or waking us up! One night I was able to get her to agree to sleep in the bed and got her tucked into the bed for bedtime. Went to check on her 30 minutes later and she was fast asleep on the floor, with her pillow, blanket and everything.
Haha, the tongue thing! My daughter sticks out her tongue when she's concentrating, too... So does her daddy. :)
My 3y/o grabs the bottom of his t-shirt with his thumb-sucking hand while he's sucking his thumb. I think he must like the smell of our fabric softener or something. *shrug*
My 19m/o says 'tits' instead of 'pits' (as in armpits). Imagine trying to explain that to his 70-something year old great-grandparents.
My 3y/o says 'nibbles' instead of 'nipples'.
My daughter, now 8 (still has her 'blanky one') and will run the edges through her fingers non-stop when she's tired... Has done it since she could grasp. 'Old quirks/words' of hers would be 'lillingroom' for livingroom, 'lemalade' for lemonade, and my favorite... *oh how to spell this...* Kiocate (say it like kee-ock-ate) for chocolate. And before walking, she didn't crawl... She would prop herself so her one knee would be on the floor and she'd pull herself with the other foot. When her bottom teeth first came in, she'd hold the tip of her tongue to them and then push the middle part of her tongue out (don't know if you can picture it).
My soon to be 3yr old son basically came out of the womb with his hand on top of his head. He didn't have hair when he was first born, but he constantly twirls his hair (before having his locks, he'd just rub his head). He'll give me the 'angry face' in a joking manner and then smile big as cheesy as possible.
My son is a complete and total ham that flirts with all the curvy ladies. I tell him that if he were a sandwich, he'd be a ham and turkey with cheese.
He sticks his tongue out when he is concentrating on something!
