North-ism

Today, North was eating a piece of cheese as he, Sky and I drove into the hills to visit some friends for the afternoon. After the visit, he found a chunk in his carseat as we were loading up. He asked if he could eat it; I said "sure, but let me break off the crunchy hard parts." I did and then tossed the pieces into the forest. As we were driving away, I could hear the wheels turning in his head.

He said, "Mama, you threw two pieces of cheese into the forest".

Me: "I did."

He thinks for a minute. " I think the mice will eat up the cheese in the forest."

Me: "I am sure they will enjoy the cheese very much."

North thinks again. "But first they have to wake up."

So who told him that some mice are nocturnal?



I finished the book, "Siblings without Rivalry" and am now starting "How to talk so your kids will listen and how to listen so your kids will talk." I love the ideas and the writing style of the authors. These books are great assets to my parenting library.

"American children in 2010 have a bright, clear reason for being. They exist to furnish subjects for digital photographs that can be corrected, cropped, captioned, organized, categorized, albumized, broadcast, turned into screen savers and brandished on online social networks."

Action, dance!

North loves this music video. He has watched it over and over today. And he was inspired to have a dance session to our music class CD. We had a great morning.
