Eat, Read, and Be Mommy

You know, my two older girls are so self-sufficient when it comes to distance learning, but my second grader–my only son–more than makes up for that. In many ways, I’m now spending my mornings doing approximately what I did at Sylvan, only I’m not getting paid, and I don’t actually get to leave work and come home. I quit that job to be a homemaker and a mom–and I WANT to be a homemaker and a mom. I really don’t enjoy having to be the school assignment authority, aide, and enforcer besides.

Okay, moving on, because I do know that we are blessed in so many ways during this craziness. On a different note, we listened to Mac Barnett and Jory John’s The Terrible Two Go Wild on the way home from Idaho, and I have to say–it fully lived up to expectations. Our favorite pranking duo are enjoying a idyllic summer, which happens to include a series of encounters with Josh Barkin and his identical sidekicks. What’s not to love? If you’re looking for a solidly fun series for your kiddos (and yourself) during our current craziness, “The Terrible Two” books are an excellent choice. (I even think Audible may be offering the first one for free at the moment.) Good luck to us all–and be well.
