Sometimes I look at my children and I fear for their psyches. I think they are SO odd and they spend their time doing SUCH odd activities--things I cannot even post here because it freaks me out so.
People assure me that children are just odd little creatures, and, not to worry, statistically many children grow up to be happy and functioning adults.
But still I worry and fear for their psyches.
However, sometimes, they surprise me with an activity that seems surprisingly normal and healthy. Tonight, they made a list of exercises:
and they proceeded to mark off each exercise as they did them. There was a sibling altercation prior to checking off soccer and basketball...and there was a small argument between the mom and the son about what exactly a Burpee should look like (and how it should be spelled), so it didn't make the list...but other than that, this was a good night.
Post-script, 10/5:
I turned over the paper this morning and saw that he had added my exercise suggestion...not the spelling I suggested, but at least my exercise wasn't ignored completely.
