The Twirling of the Hair

All 3 of my boys twirl their hair in some form or fashion. I've only recently discovered Micah doing it, confirming that he is indeed a Wideman boy. Joshua runs his fingers around the swirl on the top of his head. He used to play with the front of his hair as well, but he doesn't really do that anymore. Luke plays with the back of his hair and it's only in conjunction with sucking his thumb. He only plays with his hair when he's sucking his thumb and he cannot suck his thumb without playing with his hair. What's funny about him is that he can also play with someone else's hair while he is sucking his thumb. It doesn't really matter who it is, his parents, his brother, or a friend. If someone is sitting next to him reading him a book, they can't count on a small head massage from Luke. And finally, the other day when I was singing Micah his last song before his nap, I noticed that he, too, was playing with the back of his hair. It was really cute. I know that I say everything that he does is cute, but you would say the same thing if you could see him for yourself. :o) Anyway, all 3 of the boys only do the hair twirl when they're tired (well, that is, except for Luke who always does it when sucking his thumb). If they were girls, their hair would be in knots when they wake up in the mornings! Here is a picture of J&L that I caught one morning with both of them playing with their hair (I made Luke take his thumb out for the picture). They're so funny sometimes!
