Stealing away

In our house it can be very loud and very crazy with all the kids and animals running around. Sometimes it's nice to sneak away and get a few minutes to yourself. Sometimes it's even tough to get a bite to eat around here without someone stealing food from your plate or just having so much going on that it's tough to focus long enough to eat. Every now and then I will find one of the kids hiding out to eat in peace (especially if they scored a treat they don't want to share). Apparently The Babe with the Power is starting this pretty young.

I caught him hiding under the table eating an apple. Super Why set it down to get a toy and The Babe swiped it. That's what it's come to here, you can not leave your food unattended for even a minute or it will be gone when you return.

Here's Super Why doing the same thing about a year and a half a go with a flower cookie he swiped.

Super Why's OCD

Yesterday while my mom and I were having coffee and chatting we noticed Super Why was acting a bit strange. He would rub one eye followed by the next. At first I asked are your eyes itchy? Thinking maybe allergies, but as we continued to watch he would then touch his cheek followed immediately by touching his other cheek the same way. I washed his face, maybe something was on him making him uncomfortable. Nope. It went on for the entire day. Touch one cheek, touch the other, itch one eye, itch the other, sweep hair off of one ear, sweep it off the other and so it went. OCD anyone? My kid? Wonder where that comes from ;). Some of the time it was downright hilarious to watch. I of course took a little video to share, Mom and I were really cracking up by this point as it had been going on at least an hour and a half. He was doing it again this morning, but much less frequently.
