A Parenting Tip
Posted by: | CommentsFor all Dads and Moms to little boys, it seems wise to memorize the old school Spiderman song– if for nothing else, so that you can sing along while he wears it out in public (as Elijah did the other day). If you look at the picture below, be sure to recognize the two ‘bad guys’ off to the left. Spiderman gave them a good beat-down. He also generated his share of smiles.
Watch out for Spiderman!
Running Backwards
Posted by: | CommentsWe have a bedtime rule in our home (for the kids). Only 1 time out after tuck-ins. If you come out again without a borderline emergency (like I need my water bottle filled up, which, incidentally, leads to big water drinking at bedtime), you receive discipline (usually a spanking).
Last night, Elijah apparently wanted to see if showing me how well he can run backwards qualified as a borderline emergency. He had already been out once, but he had to come out again. I was sitting in the living room when I heard some little footsteps. I looked over to see Elijah with a big grin on his face (one that communicated he knew he needed to come up with something). So he turned around with a big old smile on his face and said, “I love you Daddy, look at my running backwards!”
It was great. I loved it. But I did have to let him know that even though he is doing great with his backwards run (a big deal to a 3 year old), and even though I love to see him in action, running backwards didn’t qualify as a borderline emergency. I am kind of glad he took the risk with it though.
