something in the air? (saturday)

Great morning.  Fabulous, terrific.  Izzy had a bit of trouble adjusting, but ended up making his own pb&j again.  When Gi came down, he brought out the nutella (I’m a bit amazed it took him this far into the week before he pulled it out)  and, since we were completely out of bread, they ate it straight from their bowls.

Then it was a morning of free-play.  Inside, outside, upstairs and down.  The house was immaculate this morning; by 10am it was completely destroyed.  Art supplies, dress-up clothes, fort-building materials…

This is what I want to know:  is there something in the air?  Yesterday, this dryly humorous mum wrote about her daughter climbing onto the roof of her car.  Granted, this is quite a different situation (you’ll have to read her post to find out why) but it’s not something that happens every day, at least not at my house….

How did I deal with it (besides seeing it as a stealth photo op?)  Um… I didn’t.  The car was in the driveway.  And honestly, besides lecturing or threatening, I couldn’t think what to do.  Plus, I know I’m not the only parent dealing with this.  That helps.
