Mothering on the Edge

When kids trim the tree

They hung the ornaments, and when they got to the bottom of the box and the styrofoam peanuts...they just kept going.

It's the last day of November and we've agreed that December will be a TV-free month. I'm so sick of the box that never sleeps. Maybe it will improve the preschoolers' behavior as well. They've really been on one lately. E (2) has developed the all-purpose response, "No, YOU!" and T (3) is in some kind of training program--Future Enforcers of America. Whenever I'm not around I can hear her yelling at her brother, "No! That's not allowed! Stop that! No, No!" And of course, her brother responding, "No, YOU!" Makes me think our family culture has gotten a little negative lately...

Merry end of November! May your halls be decked with styrofoam and love.
