So when I am being a good mom, I will shut my computer (or school book), scoop her up while she is talking, then just sit on the couch with her. She is usually done in about 5 minute then is happy to be ignored for another couple of hours.

Blah blah blah blah blah..."<br /><br />I will also often have two children talking to me at exactly the same time, totally ignoring each other, just saying whatever they're saying. I will say, "I can't hear you both talk at the same time!!! ARGGGH!"<br /><br />One of mine also never stops talking. Never. Ever. She never stops talking. She is always, always, always talking. After a while, my brain just can no longer comprehend her spoken words anymore! Sometimes after Matt gets home from work, when she's talking and talking and talking to me, I'll say, "Oh, I bet Daddy missed you talking to him SO much while he was at work! Why don't you give him a treat and go tell this to HIM, instead?"

Not that Emma was interested in it. <br /><br />And yes, everyone has their thing(s). Mine is having my child talk to me when she knows I am concentrating on something. Drives. Me. Crazy. <br /><br />Love the comics! We have been attending a Christian homeschool group (despite the fact that we are not Christian- what better way to learn the theory of Christianity!) and this morning Emma decided she wanted to draw the Arch because the didn't provide a handout for that last week. Cool. <br /><br />And woohoo for all your snow melting! It's snowing here :0(Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09611764295297526639noreply@blogger.com
