Why is it that when they are happy and cute they say “Da Da Da Da” and when they are screaming in the middle of the night they yell “MA MAAAA MAA MAA”?

When we went for The Squad’s 15 month check up, one of the questions the pediatrician asked me was if they could draw a line - not necessarily a straight line, but something. I told him I didn’t know, I never let them have anything that they could write with. I was afraid somebody would lose an eye.
Upon hearing this, their Grandmother decided that they must have crayons at once.
It turns out that Ian can draw a line and Claudia is more into pointillism.
Here is a picture of why I’m glad they were coloring on Grandma’s table and not mine. It is also a sample of Ian’s work (no he did not write his own name).
This is also right before Claudia bit the tip off the purple crayon. Sadly, I had to put the camera down, so she wouldn’t eat anymore, but it was pretty funny.

The Squad was pretty good at the salon. They sat mostly still and the screaming was kept to a minimum. The stylist was very patient with our circus (there were six of us) and let us take videos and act like huge dorks right in the middle of the shop. We even remembered to save some hair (thanks to Ahlem and Tammy). It went pretty well overall.

Okay, it’s not the most telling picture, but he was through sitting still for the day, and we all agree he looks less like Bozo the Clown after the third (yes, third) haircut of the day.

My Mom and I were wondering if Jack and Jill were twins. My Mom thinks they were. I’m not even sure they were related.

“I’m going to take all of the duck feet away if you two can’t share the stupid duck feet!”
And I was serious.
