snow day again

Second child has been awake for... thirty minutes. They are already driving me nuts. This is going to be a long day.

I am so sorry. The only way I got through last week was by having Dora the Explorer and Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers on Amazon Prime.

We survived. We did Amazon-rent a movie and watched a bunch of PBS Kids. Also played board games, read new library books I'd picked up the day before, painted with water, painted with paint, interpretive dance, snacks of dubious nutritive value, etc. Schools have reopened today, thank goodness, should give me some time to come up with a game plan for the next round of this. (The kids are *so close* to being able to play together, but sadly Q still mostly just wants to shove and poke Junie.)

I continue to think we should channel this by (a) teaching her to fight back; (b) getting a sumo ring, so they can push each other around in some purposeful and constructive way.

Only problem is, I'm not sure where we'd put it. :^p

Just so long as that's not why she's taking martial arts nowadays ;-)

Though come to think of it, using karate to deflect sibling poking would be kind of awesome as long as she doesn't follow it with the associated counter punch.

No, indeed. :^) I occasionally think that we should have had her try judo instead, so she could practice safely throwing him to the ground... But she'd probably just break his arm or something. :^p
