No Sacrifices, Just Committed!

Look Mom, I’m A Statue

Posted on | October 3, 2008 |

I had a flash back of the song Freeze Frame. Yes, I’m a girl stuck in the 80’s and I’m not really trying to break free, just trying to rid myself of some of my old ways. The country roads are our stage and at any moment we can break out in song, skip and dance, or stop in the middle and command attention. Of course, we step aside for any horse trailers, bulldozers, or big rigs that come barreling down the road as if they own it. Schubaboobaly even knows to run to the easement when Mommy calls, “car!” He scoots as fast as his little legs carry him. Actually, the drivers are pretty friendly and everyone either gives us a wave or stops to say hello. At first, that was a little weird to a city-girl like me, but that is just how they we do it out here.

Well, we started our morning walk today standing still. Everyone decided to be a statue and I had to give the command to unfreeze them. Once I gave the command, they were off and the defrosted children went running on their way. I’m going to suggest this game at home the next time I need them to settle down. I just won’t be so quick to defrost them.

We have been taking the same path and it’s amazing how many different things we see each day. Today, we had a mini session of math and anatomy, together.

Schubaboobaly identified the horse. We counted them together and the older two determined that there was one male in the bunch. Can you guess what gave it away? They couldn’t stop talking about it. Oh, it’s definitely one of mom’s favorite conversations; NOT! Well, what can I say? At least they’re learning.

Schubaboobaly likes horses, but doesn’t like their stature, compared to his, or the sounds they make. He didn’t believe me when I told him they were just saying hello. I ended up carrying him all the way home. He’s a heavy baby!
