Silly kids

Xander loves wearing sunglasses.  The only problem is, his head is so wide, that they usually won't stay on his head (kids size is too small, and adults still too big).  We finally found a pair laying around that fit!  Yet, he said, "Mom, they falling down."
"No, they are staying on really well."
"No, Mom, they are falling down."
He puts the glasses on me.  I shake my head all crazy, and they still don't come off.  So we try it on him.  He shakes all crazy, and they stay on again.
"Mom!  They falling OFF!"
"Xander, silly, they are staying on perfectly."
"No, mom.  I need guwr hair."
"You need girl hair to keep your sunglasses on?"
"Yeah, mom.  I need guwr hair for my gwasses."

Brandon was grading papers last night, and I fell asleep with Isabela.  At some point in the night, I awoke to: "Dad.  Dad?  Dad, what are you doing?"  I listen and wait.  "Mom?  Mom?  Mooom?" I wait.  "Moooom?"
"What?" I reply to the sleeping Isabela.
"What is that?"
"What is what?"
"What are you cutting?"
Um... thinking... "Piña." (Pineapple)
"Oh, ok.  Great!  I am starving!"

This morning, she had no recollection.  We ate fresh piña for breakfast anyhow, and "made her dreams come true."  The kids were quite giddy as they ate it, laughing that we could make real dreams happen.

Oh, and yes, Chauncey's fifth tooth did break through (just to his right of the bottom two), as suspected. I still can't believe how fast their teeth come in. (He did great a couple of days after it finally broke through, but today the 17th, he is already chewing his fingers again and crying.  Poor guy!)
