W.E.M.L.

Maddie is teaching me sign language – at least one four-character phrase. You extent the three fingers between the thumb and pinky, and spread them. First you point them upward, then to the left, then downward, then make an ‘L’ with your thumb and forefinger and put it on your forehead. She demonstrates this for me a lot. 

She usually demonstrates it for me after I tell her to do something (piano, homework, get up, etc.), but doesn't tell me what it means. Hmmm. W-E-M-L.

Procrastination

I start each day with the best of intentions ... 'Today, I'm going to get some procrastination in'. 
But I get distracted; work, ferrying my kid, etc. etc.  I get to the end of the day, and realize I haven't gotten around to it.
