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."
