Lesson 224: Multiplication

Two little boys have found the perfect fusion of their mommies and daddies. Earlier they were sword fighting with their cereal spoons and making a mess, so I gave them disposable straws instead. Now they are sitting peacefully on the couch reading and sword fighting. The best of both worlds I suppose.

Lesson 223: Addition

1 box+ 3 holes + 3 Cheerios + 2 boys fascinated with 'inside' and 'outside' = at least 15 minutes of entertainment.

Lesson 222: Mommy is...

Deci and his cousins have lately gotten into repeatedly asking "Where Mommy/Daddy go?" The answer is of course the same every day and every time they ask. So needless to say,the endless question was starting to drive me batty. Then I thought I'd be clever. I gathered all three of them together for a speech.

"Now Mommy/Aunt Yaya, Daddy/Uncle Darrell, and Uncle Devon/Daddy are all at work. So now listen carefully. Mommy/Aunt Yaya is at work. Every body say 'at work'"

"At wook"

"Ok and Daddy/Uncle Darrell is at work. Everybody say 'at work'"

"At wook"

"Very good, and Uncle Devon/Daddy is also at work. Everybody say 'at work'"

"At wook"

"Wonderful. Now where is Mommy?"

Roran: "In Car!"

Lesson 221: If and Only If

If you are a cute little girl. And if you are adorable and loved by everyone. And if you are the youngest and most innocent of the children so far. Then you can cry and screech just because and everyone in the room will come to your rescue and want to hold you and play with you and make you laugh. You can be the center of attention by just batting your eyelashes in the right way.
