Mom in Brief 3

• Cute things they did:  They still like to take turns being each other’s “doggie” – they use long things as leashes and run around the room attached at the hand, one panting and one calling out, “Come here, boy!”
• Another cute thing they did: At naptime A says to me, “Mommy can I get…uhh…TWO nose kissies and… blah blah?” (blah blah = patty cake saying “blah”), Z adores videos about letters and letter sounds and words, she goes around singing “B says BAYbee, B says BAYbee…”
• Any more cute things they did: “It’s your turn to be doggie now, sista!”….. “Awlrigt!”,  A: “Daw-gee daw-gee Woof Woof!” (said in a sing song voice)
• Current and ongoing obsessions:  Flashcards – both of them have their favorite set in their bedroom toyboxes and play with them like trading cards
• Interesting activities for today: Made brownies again with M&M’s and chocolate chips
• Educational activity they did today:  Did homework, practiced picking out their names out of selection of similar words
• What they watched on TV: Word World marathon and Leapfrog Letter Factory (fav)
• Uhhh.. moment: A started playing in the toilet water while going potty.
• Food: A: Ghost cookies (“Mama, I ate his eyes!”), Z: Popsicles! Pizza!  Pasta!!!!!!!
• Argh moment: (besides the potty water) A & Z pulled down their entire curtain rod in their room during naptime.  Had to put brown paper over their window until it’s replaced.  They were hiding under their blankets when I came in and saw it.
• Noteworthy:  Started using time-out on Z because she’s not listening and saying “Sorry” all.. rebellious-like.  Just twice at 1 minute each in her room.  The silence in the room during those minutes really lets you know how much volume she’s normally producing ALL THE TIME.
• Hmmm.. moment:  She sat in time-out like she’s done this before.  I wonder if she’s had to do this in school a lot?
