This Week

-
In the true spirit of Thankful Thursday, allow me to complain share a bit about our week. Kentario got slammed with a vicious 24 hour stomach bug which caused him to be bedridden. When the sickness left I was tempted to pull a Sherman and burn our room down to the ground...just in case.  
I decided it was best to  quarantine ourselves on Sunday in case we were infected (we were not). 
But that didn't keep Liza from getting her Praise On. 
At another point during the week I found her repeatedly licking the door frame. "LieLou!!"
And she temporarily succumbed to the influence of her older sister. "LieLou!!"
She didn't appreciate getting repremanded which she made clear with her stern face, laser eyes and Barbie spy glasses. 
I decided to organize the hall closet and embrace the craziness
When it got to be too much I dipped into our emergency stash of frozen pizza and emotionally ate 
The highlight of the week was finding this picture online and sending it to Kent.

But if I happen to see her after I move, I'll take it as a sign and invite her out to lunch...where she might just teach me how to diagram sentences. 2. It's a ritzy, upscale place . We're moving to a place where people are well off. Yes, there will be drawbacks to this and I probably wouldn't pick it if I had a choice (but that's a blog post for another day). While there will be drawbacks, the...

The ultimate Time Out death stare 1. Potty Training Is going well. Less accidents, more jelly bean rewards. It just involves a lot of bending over (ooph!) and huddling in public bathroom stalls together. 2. "Treat others the way you would want to be treated" Would you like for her to take the toy out of your hands? How would you feel if she chased you until you were scared? Would you like for her to start singing while you're singing a song? The Bible says to treat others the way you would want to be treated...yatayata  x a millionHOW MANY MORE YEARS OF THIS 3. "No one likes being ignored"  I overheard my older, wiser, more organic (Jokes. But not really. She uses raw sugar and roasts her own peanuts) friend tell her child this when he was ignoring his sister. I like it much better than "answer your sister" as it makes them think of the other person instead of just following a command. Thoughts? 4. "Stay three feet away from me...
