Justine started ballet classes, which at her age,
consists mostly of a pack of 10 giggly 3-4 year olds in pink leotards and tutus, swirling around in a somewhat organized fashion. More than anything, it is 5 sessions of photo-ops for the stack of parents who line the walls of the studio every Sunday. And an exercise in patience for the already very patient instructor. All in all, it has been a huge success: Justine loves it, I'm entertained, and the boys get to spend some boy time together (not sure what that really entails, but I'm picturing both in their underwear with a couple of empty beer/milk bottles lying around, watching a Carolina game on the big-screen TV...)The "why" questions, after taking a short vacation, are back in style... I lost my work ID the other day, which is an awful inconvenience since I have to use it to get into the garage/building, and to remove the kids from the daycare facility. Not having my ID, I had to hop out of the car before we got to the garage. What followed upon the announcement of the impending change of schedule:
me: "Guys, daddy will drop you off today, since I lost my ID and have to go get a new one"
V&J: "Why?"
me: "Because I can't get in through the normal entrance"
V&J: "Why?"
me: "Because I lost my ID"
V&J: "Why?"
me: "It was an accident. I had it and now it's gone. I left it somewhere and now I can't find it"
V&J: "Why?"
me: "I'm sorry!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't mean to!!!!!! It was an accident!"
Wait a second.... Maybe WE should try the "Why" tactic....
