The Witching Hour

Erica has been a bit of a booger lately. Did you guys know that sentences don't actually start with capitalized letters but witht he word "no."  Even when the question is not a yes/no question; heck even when there is no question the answer is always "no."  Tantrums, screaming a few time outs, "Erica does not love Mommy" statements the whole nine yeards. Daddy never gets this. Then my man mentioned the concept of the "Witching hour."

Basically kids get rotten at a certain time: between 4-5:30ish. Like right before/during dinner. It hink that's the explanation. After the witching hour she is totally wonderful.  Anyone else have difficulty with the Witching hour?

Also: trying to teach Erica to look in my eyes when she asks a question. She is 2, easily distracted, but I want to teach her to look at me (in my eyes) when she asks a question. It takes a few tried, I have to stick my finger between my eyes, but she may be getting the hang of it.  The point is to teach her to ask me a question, not the air. She's a sharp cookie, she'll figure it out.

one of these days I will post a vid of her sigining... very cute. She's made up songs about Butter Bear.
