I can't even.

Survived a whole day! Is it Wednesday yet when the house goes back to normal? Thankfully it's been low key ish as the focus yesterday was to drain the energy of the toddler to we went and played at a park. My little 3.5 month old spawn is handling it in stride and is a little champ. Cousins love little spawn and even try to share everything even when spawn is sleeping so naps weren't great unless all the boys were asleep (3 kids all under 5 oy vey). The toddler is very gentle which is great to see.

On to yesterday's gem though...

The scene: Eating lunch or rather trying to get the the toddler who is eating lunch to finish. Mil asked him to count and if he ate one, how many were left. Toddler proceeds to count, removes over from the plate (doesn't eat it just moves it off the plate haha) and proceeds to count again. Toddler then proceeds to continue counting.... loudly.

Mil: ok honey we are going to count silently now. That's when you count with your head not your mouth.

Toddler: /settlesdown

Mil: this is a game I like to play too. Then When some ones asks you what you are doing you can tell them you are counting silently. Then they'll think you have schizophrenia. /giggles ---end scene---

Wha?! I can even begin to understand that one. Also so much junk food in my house! For a diabetic who isn't staying with us (they're in hotel, all the grandkids are at my house) we have a lot of sugar in the form of cookies, cakes, sodas, sugar free sodas... Ugh. Also sometimes it feels like you are trying to herd a five year old when it comes to her /rant over... For now
