I swear I haven't been dancing.
Haven't had much to dance about as of late.
And when I do my patented "snow dance" it is for SNOW...none of this freezing rain/ice/sleet crud. It's not pretty or fun and one certainly can't go play in it. Which...totally stinks for a "snowday" for the minis since they can't go outside and have already been sick this week and so are basically going stir crazy which is in turn making me totally and completely certifiably insane! That and I realized this morning that I have had to dumb myself down over the past 9 years.
Now you may be saying....what do you mean K? Allow me to explain-
Kids are smart, yes, and mine are scarily so, but...they are lacking vocabulary. Which means when I talk to them I have to use the easiest word or the most common. Which is especially hard when I am angry because they won't shut up and kept me up all night by sleeping in my bed and wriggling all night, although they managed to sleep just fine! And I realized, that generally speaking, saying something at an "easier" level actually means saying many more words to explain what one big word sums up.........so I have decided to start playing the dictionary game with them. It should be quite interesting as they love nothing more than to mess with me and try and fool me anyway and here I am giving them license to do so! Of course....I get to pick the words...... (slyly evil grin appearing on K's face now) which means they will soon learn what incorrigible means.
Ah the games we must play as parents to help our kids along:)
Hope everyone stays safe today.
Blog ya later-

I've done that for years. I vowed when they were young to speak to them as I would an educated adult... which I think I've entirely counteracted by introducing them to the 3 Stooges.
