I happened to notice on our tv schedule that one of the channels is running He-Man reruns late at night. I recorded one for Dennis, and we watched it all together tonight. He loved it, just as we both did as kids. I had to send my mom a special thank you text for watching that one with us all those Saturdays long ago. Wow. David and I still remembered all the characters and their storylines, though, lame as they seem to us these days.
An hour after I put Dennis down for his nap, a striped pillowcase came walking through the house, giggling on the way. I know I'm supposed to be firm, to discipline. But I failed again today, laughing when I saw him (hey--pillowcase with legs--funny!). Daddy had to step in and be the heavy, but Dennis did manage a nice nap before Taekwondo. I have to say, he's learning some excellent lessons about respect and manners and discipline in his class. David reports that the kids had to hold their ready pose for 60 seconds without moving (and they are wiggly little kids!) tonight. I watched them hold it for 30 seconds in the last class, and Dennis actually told the instructor "this is just killing me dead!". He was proud of his achievement tonight, though, and demonstrated his ability to me when he got home. He also says "ma'am" and "sir" all the time now, and they've had lessons on courtesy and integrity. And he seems to really like it!
