    This isn't really a brag, more of a funny quote.

    We were driving home from vacation the other day and the girls were hungry. The only thing we had in the car were apples. DD9 starts saying "an apple a day keeps the doctor away", so DD4 says then we should eat 15-20 a day. About a minute later she says "um, no, I was incorrect, if you eat 15-20 apples you wouldn't keep a doctor away, you'd be calling one quickly because you'd make yourself sick!"

    Not exactly a brag, but had to share because I figure you all will appreciate this.

    Bear(5) is horrendously irritated by the fact the classic Valentine's Day heart doesn't look like the anatomical one. He went into a several minute long tirade on it the other day.

    Proudest moment ever: DD9.5 defended a classmate who was being bullied on the bus yesterday. Hearing the story secondhand (from other kids) she screamed and yelled at the bully at the top of her lungs and gave her a dressing down that had her exiting the bus in tears. Today at school the bully apologized to the classmate, on her own accord.

    My 3-year-old son informed me last night that Pluto's moon is called Charon. Apparently he read it in a book. The boy officially knows more about space than I do. ;-)

    DD 16.5 months mastered her knob puzzles a while ago, but wasn't "getting" how her 12 piece jigsaw made one whole picture. I got her a 4 piece yesterday and after seeing me do it a few times, she got it. She could match up the pieces and went straight over to another 8 piece chunky picture puzzle she wasn't getting and did that one, too! (I still have to help connect the pieces, though, once she puts them together. Her fine motor skills aren't quite there yet.)

    Stories like this always blow me away! Hanni, just turned 4, knows words like "diurnal" and "instability" and "cephalopod," but she can barely put two puzzle pieces together. Brains really are different!
