Tara is at the age where role-playing is about as fun as it gets. Over the weekend, she was role-playing with Sean and Mom where Tara was the mommy and they were both her babies. They played it up to the hilt — lots of crying, demanding things, etc. I finally suggested to Tara that she tell her kids it was time for a nap. So she did:
“C’mon baby, it’s time for a nap. Come lay down.”
“C’mon other baby, it’s time for a nap….”
Baby. And Other Baby. Maybe you had to be there, but it was one of the funniest things I’ve heard…..

There’s nothing like a carrot in front of the nose to get someone to do something.
We’ve been working with Sean for the past 6 months to teach him how to tie his shoes, but he’s never been able to pick it up. I’ve kinda thought the problem is partly motivation, as he’d much prefer to have Mom or Dad do it, anyway.
Finally last week, must’ve been Thursday or Friday, I told him we were gonna go 100% at it over the weekend and teach him how to tie his own shoes. But this time I offered a reward: I’d buy him “MVP Baseball 2005″ for the Playstation as soon as he learned.
We started Saturday morning around 10 am. At 3:30 pm Sunday, we were in line at Circuit City, a copy of MVP Baseball ready to be bought.
Finally!

As an update to this old post, today marked the first day of 2005 that was warm enough to wear shorts. And wear them I did … to the store, around the house, all day long. Yay!
