3. I am convinced Jack is going to be an engineer (see above picture). Above he has used pantry items to create a train. He does things like this all the time. He likes to construct things. He once built a tower of blocks that was 20 blocks tall by standing on a chair to get to the top). He lines things up and stacks things all the time.


2. Claire is always so considerate of her brother. She calls him her "Jack Tom," and says things like "where is my Jack Tom?" If she is going to go get milk for herself (which, by the way, they both have been opening up the fridge on their own and just getting things out as they need for several months now), she will always get him his milk too. She always gets a cracker for herself and then promptly asks to get one for Jack too. This is part of the reason they can't be separated...she thinks he always needs to do and have everything she does and has...

25 things continued...







8. Claire constantly says "hold you" when she wants someone to hold her.



7. Jack likes to scold Claire and put her in time out when she tries to hit him or take one of his toys. It is hilarious. He will say, "Claire, sit right there and do not get up! You are in time out!"



6. Both of them usually fall asleep on pillows on the floor each night until we have to move them up to their beds when they fall asleep. They also both still use pacifiers (and Claire usually has to have about 5 or 6 pacifiers surrounding her before she goes to sleep). Also, Claire insists that we give her a hug and kiss (and Jack) about three times before we leave for them to go to bed.
5. Pictures are of their Halloween costumes this year. Last year they went as a bear and elmo (Jack was elmo). They both have little elmo baskets to put candy in (although neither of them have ever had candy).
4. There first time on an airplane was last Thanksgiving. They love to watch airplanes take off at the airport (Daddy takes them there sometimes). They are going for a second time this year to Indiana again for Thanksgiving.
