As a new mom to this I am constantly questioning what we are doing and NOT doing. I love these definitions and need so many more.

(okay, if it would have been expensive food, like the organic Quinoa I probably would have re-driected her LOL ) I think my latest one would be when I see DD break open a big bag of rice and use it to make “sandcastles” on my rice-coloured carpet… and I keep my mouth shut.

The kitchen makes me nervous, that's my special room to hide out in. I don't even like their father in there messing in the drawers without me. LOL We spent yesterday evening with all the dining room chairs pulled out and a mountain of blankets thrown across them. It was our rocket ship so that we could explore the moon on our own. I'm happy to report that there are cookies on the moon. ;) LOL 10 minutes is grat, I probably would ahve been peeking in a lot sooner.

I admire their patience. My kids are often in pajamas at noon ... and even beyond. The coolest sight in the world is to look out the door at them playing on the swingset still in their pajamas ... or some combination of dress-up clothes and regular clothes. It's pretty funny.

That must have been smelly clay! And kudos for you for holding back a full 10 minutes. I doubt I would have made it more than 3 minutes myself! Isn't it amazing how much self-control us previously-schooled, now-unschooling parents must have? Nice site, BTW. Oooo. That must have been smelly clay!
