What I love most

About Eliza:  When her brother turns everything into a race and then proudly declares "I won!"  she will finish up a bit later and proudly say "I lost!" and she's every bit as happy and excited as he is.  Also, if you tell her a knock knock joke instead of saying "Who's there?"  she sings a long drawn out "Who iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissssss it?" as if she's in the other room and someone rang the doorbell.

About Isaiah:  The way he is sometimes so literal about things.  I say "Isaaaaaaiah, stop saying you're going to poo on Eliza's head. I  told you talking about poo isn't polite."  "Okay, mom.....Eliza, I'm going to pee all over your head!" followed by genuine surprise when I still give him the mom look.

About Jerel:  I explained to him the Elf on a Shelf phenomenon, and showed him some Pinterest links to explain the over-the-topness of it all.  I asked if he thought it was something we should do.  "Until someone has done a longitudinal study showing a positive correlation between Elf on a Shelf and future success or increased intelligence levels, no."
