Well, I didn't blog all weekend. But that's okay, because the entirety of the last three days can pretty much be summed up with the words "HOUSE LIZARDS". How can we catch house lizards? Everyone must contribute ideas. We grownups are running out of ideas that make sense, but we must keep coming up with more. There are nets, there are baskets, there is an actual Duplo maze, with a trail of leaves, leading to a Duplo building, the opening of which will be blocked up once the lizards are inside. We discuss how to get the lizards to not be scared of us, and how to make them feel at home once they're in our house. There are a lot of bug-flavored and -scented things, and a lot of green things. At one point she gathered up her greenest action figures and placed them around the kitchen counters. Maybe we should all wear green shirts. Maybe we should put dead bugs in our shoes so our feet will smell like bugs. Maybe she should put some pictures of grass up in her room. All she wants to do is talk about lizards. Possibly a visit to a pet store is in order in the near future.
Other than that, today anyway... We went to the grocery stores. I explained the difference between strength and leverage using the example of kneading dough on a low counter vs a high counter. She seemed to understand?
She played Mario Kart. She made new Miis. She spelled the word "guy" on her own without any help. That was cool.
She played some Peg + Cat games on the tablet.
She actually helped me clean her playroom. This may have been due to the fact that I told her she couldn't be in it while I was cleaning it unless she was helping. She finally gave in and completed one task admirably.
She watched Norman play Super Mario Galaxy while checking stuff in the manual. (Quite a regular occurrence around here.)
