A relative bought me a foot massager as a Hanukkah gift. K.C. loves the massager, I put his feet on the thing and he'll sit very content. It's funny cause when his feet are on the massager he'll put his hands on top of his head, don't know why. He's been watching Charlottes Web on the portable DVD player, he really likes it. Big Brother and I have been reading about The Black Death. He is fascinated about this subject. I had to hide the book from him because I told him we would read it together in the evening in case he didn't understand it. No worries there, he understands it completely. He read that within the walls of the city there were people who died of Black Death. The folks in the city decided to build this huge catapult and actually launched the dead bodies over the walls of the city. Big Brother couldn't believe it when he read it. He said, "didn't they know they were sending germs into the air?" Tonight were gonna keep reading and he'll ask a million questions faster than I can (hopefully) answer them. I have already found another book I know Big Brother will find extremely interesting, amoebic dysentery. His Dad has so many books it is unreal. It is about soldiers and dysentery. This morning I took both boys to my Parent's house. Before we went I grabbed a pair of Big Brother's Spider Man socks and a pair of regular white socks. I gave K.C. a choice of which socks he wanted to wear and he picked the regular white socks. I held up the pretty Spider Man socks and said, "oh look Spider Man, pretty socks." He could care less. I put the socks on him anyways. K.C. doesn't realize what is "cool" and never really wants anything. I see kids in the stores wanting candy and practically begging their parents for a toy or candy but K.C. never does this. He could care less, he is happy just looking around, in his own world. He's happy with simple things.

WELL you might not have gotten a break with KC's health BUT you got one on the "normal" stuff kids cause trouble about. AND yes at some point we do need to meet.
My kids are the same - they never beg for anything in the stores or see commercials and yell over and over that they want what they see. I'm actually very happy about that part and can totally do without. :) Hope all is well with you all!
I have nto stopped thinking of this,, maybe KC is feelign the vibrate in his head? have a great weekend.
I suspect the hands/feet thing is a holdover instinct from our quadraped ancestors--if one set of paws is on a vibrating surface, you want to plant the other two firmly. (My son was born with one hand on his forehead--it must have been stuck there for a while before he was born--and he still likes to put his hands on his head, or have someone else's hands on his head, when he's seeking calm.)
