The things they notice.

The kids all notice very different things and don't notice things their siblings do.

For example...

This morning I asked Parker for Ted so I could make sure I didn't forget him for sharing. He said he was in the living room. I went there but didn't see him. Parker came over to show me where he was. I grabbed his PreK bag and tucked him in there noticing that there was a used dixie cup in there too. I walked into the kitchen and threw away the dixie cup. Elizabeth, who had been quietly eating breakfast, said: Did Parker help you find Ted? I said Yes. She then said, Did you throw Ted in the garbage?

Miranda notices anything and everything I put in my mouth. I could sneak in the tiniest piece of chocolate and she would say, "What's that you eating?"

Parker doesn't appear to notice anything, but then he'll talk about some inane detail about something that happens 4 months ago. A few days ago he said, "Mom the next time we got to Shari's house, can you tell me when we get on Hwy 680?"
