    I Don’t Get It....

    Today my kids were really noisy, run-ny, argue-y, and take-toys-y...so after about an hour of "walk, please" and "we dont take toys from our friends" 1000 times, I made everyone clean up.

    Then I put spread them out, gave them each a book and a small stuffed animal or puppet, and put on some calming music. I asked them to read to their "little friend".

    About 3 out of ten actually read. the others moaned and complained. Ripped the books by "accident", called my name a gazillion times, bashed and slammed the puppets.

    I had set the timer for 10 mins, so when it rang it was time to go outside. As SOON as I started collected the books and toys, everyone starts reading to their little friend!! And whines when I took them!

    :: What gives?

    I have a pretty mild bunch right now, but they're kind of needy and hard to please. They call my name constantly, tell on each other all day...its like they need my attention all the time. "Go play toys" works for about a day.

    I have them, today, too. I put in an old Richard Simmons video, pretended to ignore them, and started "Working Out".

    As soon as I stopped, they all started like maniacs.... :: I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this age. Of course, my attention span is about as long as theirs.

      Mine are all like this too.

      THEY ALL NEED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL AS OF YESTERDAY.

      One more day, one more day............

      I seperated my own from the rest and when they asked where my kids were, I just told them that they are not your toys to mistreat.

      Seems to have worked so far.
