Please say it's the heat. My kids have gone crazy, and I'd like to blame the extreme weather - as opposed to my parenting. I've tried letting them shake out their energy by running in the sprinklers, going to the playground, run in the backyard. But it's just too darn hot to be out there for extended periods. And, as a result, strange things are happening. Here's a few examples:
Strange Happening #1:
Yesterday, our 2.5yo decided to strip from the waist down, throw his clothes in the potty, and proceed to "wash" then "air dry" them by flinging them around, soaking himself, the furniture and the floor.
Strange Happening #2:
My toddler son totally outed me when I told my 6 year old that I was only 29 years old. He knew instantly that I was telling a little white lie and said "No you're not. You're 36!" How did he know? He's 2.5!
Strange Happening #3:
Me: "Max - Where are you?" Max: "I'm here!" Me: "Max, I don't see you. Where are you?" Max, even louder: "I'm here, Mama!" Me: "Max, you have to tell me where you are. Mommy can't find you!" Max: Mama! I'm UP HERE!" He was on the top shelf of our floor to ceiling bookcase. Ay carumba.
What are you doing to keep your family sane in this heat? Clearly, I could use some advice!
