How to sing like a 5-year-old:
1. Expand your song repertoire of Hannah Montana and Jonas Brothers to include old standards like "Take Me Out To The Ball Game".
2. Sing the following lyrics:
Take me out to the ball game
Take me out with the crowd
Take me out to the ball game
Take me out to the ball game
Take me out to the ball game
'Cause it's 1,2,3 strike you're out
At the old ball game!
3. If at all possible, stand on the second floor landing in your house to sing. It offers better acoustics.
4. Sing as loud as you can. This is important.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 over and over and over.

Before my son drifted off to sleep last night, he looked at me and asked, "Mom, is there a cure for the plague?" then without skipping a beat made an "OK" sign with his fingers, put them up to his eye and asked, "Can you see my fingers?"
Yeah, I don't know where that came from either.

My husband and I take turns getting the kids to sleep. Sunday is traditionally his day to take Flynn to bed. We sit with our children until they fall asleep (don't judge and don't tell me we made a bad parenting choice - it works for us so back off).
Flynn fell asleep pretty quickly and I saw Frank leave her room (Evan and I were reading an Eoin Colfer book). Not too many minutes later, Flynn came in and somewhat demanded "Where's Daddy?" I escorted her back across the hall and told her Daddy was in the shower. As we entered her room she gestured to the spot on her bed where Frank had been sitting and said, "See? No Daddy! I was not all the way asleep when he left my room." She was kind of p.o.'d that her father dared leave her awake but settled down and was soon fast asleep.

I'll just say that watching Death Proof has confirmed my belief that Quentin Tarantino is one strange bird who would probably benefit from some therapy.
Frank's review? "Well, that was disturbing."
And I think it was about an hour too long but Kurt Russell does a good creepy.

No judging here. We have a pillow and blanket for us in Bubba's room to take turns laying on the floor to get him to go to sleep. And there have been many a blog written while sitting in his room, waiting for him to sleep.
"Mom get pooter and sit in chair."
I was hoping it was temporary and he would grow out of it, but you're not giving me much hope. :P
My kids have both been sleeping in the same room for the past month and they both fall asleep to a movie. I know, I know, call the people. But, it's usually just Thomas or The Wiggles. And that is AFTER I've read them both about 10 books. It could be worse. Right?
