A bedtime stall tactic
Ethan loves books and I love thqt he loves books.  About 1/2 of his Hanukkah presents this year was books from Once Upon a Time bookstore in Montrose, and I’m often embarrassed how quickly we spend enough to get their customer loyalty rewards.

This way, this way...
I was sweeping the driveway and Ethan grabbed a broom to help.  He kept pushing the dirt/leaves in the wrong direction.  I told him, “no push it towards the grass, this way, this way.”  For the rest of the afternoon he kept grabbing a broom spreading dirt everywhere singing “this way, this way”
