And we have a "wee" little problem in this house with pee not hitting its intended target. (Well, I assume it's the intended target. Maybe they don't even intend to hit it, I don't know.) After repeated warnings and various approaches, we finally said, No Standing To Pee. This was my gentle reminder:
Now I feel ready to recieve the "Creative, Fun and Involved Mother" award. Of course, being that that is my blog, I can pick and choose the family moments and discipline methods that I want to share with you. Like you don't witness the discipline method I sometimes use. It's called Yelling at Your Children. It's not very creative, fun or effective. I can also choose the photos. For example, I didn't put the better ice-cream-making photo on here because I did not like how I looked in it.
So all of that to lead into my big confession: Yesterday I wrote about Lydia's grouchiness. I listed the times she had been mad that day. Well, the irony was not lost on me (it was also not shared on my blog) that as I was sitting at the computer typing that very post, she was mad that I was doing that while she sat on the floor. Sitting on the computer while your child fusses is not a recommended parenting strategy. I don't recommend it. I don't endorse it. But I sometimes do it. (She's peacefully sleeping right now, by the way.)
The end. I feel better. :)

Your honesty is as refreshing as a winter cup of ice cream. I love your poem, and three cheers for sitters! Hip Hip No spray! Hip Hip No Spray!
