Lately, our house is just a little wild. Those of you who know us, really aren't surprised. Our house winds up at the end of the day vs the much favored opposite winding down. Yesterday . . As I write now, I'm closing my eyes because it's better to just block it out. I'll give you some highlights which lead to the eventual discovery.
Our Wednesday story time escapade - Mia now just associates it with bubbles because the librarian has them! She first needs to read several stories very, very slowly. This particular story talked about a woman dying from eating too much. Seemed harsh for a group of toddlers, but who am I to judge?
Sab has another new girlfriend, obsession. From visiting him for lunch the other day, I gather he likes strong, bossy women who look much older than 6. I personally liked the nice girl beside me who couldn't maneuver her juice box, too boring for him. His report card came and he's doing well (this doesn't fit with story, but I'm proud of him).
Pick up Sab at school with our neighbor. They bicker the entire way home about electronics. I am ready to throw it out the window, it's a long 8 minutes.
Both children loose their noodle at dinner. Noodle losing is not good, I use it as a substitute phrase for tantrum. Sab's issue was due to a red cupcake that his sister stole off his tray. Mia just didn't want to be there, AT ALL. End conclusion - cereal at home for me, noodle soup and nuggets for her.
Homework - can't say another word. It's too trivial for Sab. Can anyone say the word Kindergarten?
This leads us to discovery . . Curt stepped in. Probably afraid for the safety of our children? He decides to completely take over bath time. Little secret it's sheer torture to wash Mia's hair and last night was the night!!! I hear her scream, Sab's running up and down the hallway. I calmly clean up the kitchen by myself. I soon feel guilty. I go upstairs, Mia is out of the bath tub!! Curt is drying her, rather diligently. Sab looks at his sister (remember she is 1 1/2) and says, "DAD - WHAT HAPPENED TO IT?" Curt still wrestling with Mia is only half listening. Happened to what he says? "MIA'S PEEPEE! YOU LOST IT!" Sab had watched his sister take countless baths but never took notice until yesterday. So we embarked on the beginning steps of the differences between boys and girls. Sab's main concern was that Mia and I are unable to go to the bathroom.
Needless to say, Curt will probably not join us for bath time ever again.
