Matt's newest game with the girls is "grumpy daddy". They think it is is absolutely hilarious. I think it is pretty funny too. Because honestly, when is Matt ever grumpy? Never! When I first listened to him playing it I was actually more than a little worried that he had some real-life-inspiration for the game from seeing grumpy Leah.
So here is how it goes: he pretends to be grumpy and a little mean. They sit in the pretend car (a couple of chairs pulled away from the table) and pretend to drive somewhere. They ask for things and he grumbles and says no. "No snack." "No music". "We will go to the park but you will just have to sit and watch the other kids play" "No laughing. No smiling" "Because I am grumpy". Then during one episode of this game, they all went home and grumpy dad took a nap and then he was back to his cheerful, kind self again.
It is funny. But it also makes me cringe a little. Because I get grumpy with the girls sometimes. I may not be so extreme, but I do get snappy and short-tempered. Grumpy dad was right about one thing, a nap truly does make it better :)
About Me
- Leah
- I am the stay at home mom of three girls: Adeline (Addie), Ettalyn (Etta)and Willa. Except for a brief stint in CO, I have lived in the wonderfully rainy Pacific Northwest all my life. I love to eat... and to bake. When the weather permits (or even sometimes when it really doesn't) I like to take neighborhood walks. I read books - a lot of books. I live in Seattle so, of course, I drink coffee. I live in Seattle so, of course, my husband works with computers.
