Maryanna and Peter set up little chairs so they could get up close and teach their little brother all sorts of useful information. Maryanna was teaching him Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. Peter said "I'm teaching Henry Math. I'm starting with 2+2 because I think he already knows 1+1."
Babies are magical. I can get Jerome to calm down when he is upset by just handing him the baby. Pretty soon I start hearing him doing the baby talk and everything seems to be OK again.
ReplyDeleteMarie'- that is a great idea... I'll do that next time with James.
ReplyDeleteAny ideas for when everyone including the baby is upset?
So that explains how all your kids are so smart! They just start out teaching eachother from the moment they are born. Too cute :)
ReplyDeleteFeed them, make them have a time out in the yard, separate them in different rooms... I don't know.
ReplyDeleteI tried the "turn on the music and dance" thing at four. It worked... but not in the way I expected. The kids stopped what they were doing and just stared at me. Like I was crazy. I guess I have to brush up on my moves again.
