I remember my mom on all fours chasing us around the house like she was a bear. I loved it!Costa Rica Baby!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17729329221387540102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3063767725931505075.post-46814655209098426832008-05-23T15:28:00.000-06:002008-05-23T15:28:00.000-06:00I have to say only you would come up with some of ...I have to say only you would come up with some of those ingeneous (albeit crazy) solutions to excercise and education. <BR/><BR/>To tell on myself I have...<BR/><BR/>given Ashley baths in the kitchen sink on numerous occasions (even at the age of 6). She plays with Barbies while I cook dinner. <BR/><BR/>have had the kids lay on the floor outside the laundry room and dump dirty clothes on them from the second story to try and see if I can cover them completely. (They "played" this a few Sundays ago with towels and Jeff thought they were crazy).<BR/><BR/>we pulled our kids out of school yesterday to take them to Disneyland because it was the last day of a deal. (Jeff told them not to tell their teachers so they wouldn't think we were deadbeat parents but Jacob told all his friends and Ashley told her teacher directly)It rained on us all day but it was still fun.<BR/><BR/>I let my boys wear shorts in the rain and sometimes even let them decide if they are going to wear a jacket in it or not. <BR/><BR/>I allow forts and tent in the living room using couch pillows and anything they can find. They can stay up until Jeff gets home:)<BR/><BR/>Anyway I'm sure there's more but not of them will top yours!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01053527911135443696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3063767725931505075.post-25477093694613316842008-05-22T17:51:00.000-06:002008-05-22T17:51:00.000-06:00I really like that one Lara!I agree on the P.J. th...I really like that one Lara!<BR/>I agree on the P.J. thing. Although I do love a bathed and yummy smelling baby in clean p.j.s. That doesn't happen often around here though. :)Costa Rica Baby!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17729329221387540102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3063767725931505075.post-51706535282871324482008-05-22T17:25:00.000-06:002008-05-22T17:25:00.000-06:00Why am I not surprised you turned out to be such a...Why am I not surprised you turned out to be such a cool-fun mom, Shawna? You were always so much fun. <BR/><BR/>I let my kids stay up as late as they want, and they don't have to wear pajamas (what's the point?) It's called "love & logic parenting." They just have to be in their rooms and be quiet, but no hard and fast rules like "stay in bed and lights out." It works really well for me.Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08711571670184791225noreply@blogger.com
