How to be a fun Mom, Pt. 1

Over the past few weeks, things have gotten a bit out of hand. Messed up schedules, travel out of town, etc. have led to outbursts, tantrums, and meltdowns. Each missed nap and late dinner was cause for an "end of the world scenario." Instead of being able to enjoy the Boys first stay in a hotel, I was busy trying to get them to bed in a timely manner and make sure they're fed on time. We all know what low blood sugar does to a 3 year old! It was enough to make me want to have outbursts, tantrums and meltdowns!
After reading an article on Pinterest about re-claiming the joy in your children, I was inspired to, how you say, let things go a little.
Tonight, we had our first ever Rock and Roll Dinner Jam. We got a Kids Bop CD at the Library the other day and I put it on while I was cooking dinner. We listened to it while we ate, then while we cleared and washed our dishes, we jammed! Directions follow:

Supplies needed:
*CD player
*Good Dance tunes (Tonights song of choice-Baby by Justin Bieber. Riley loves that song and I'm not sure why. We seriously listen to it 98 times in a row.) (Beyonce's Single Ladies was also on repeat)
*NO INHIBITIONS ALLOWED!

Directions:
1. Insert cd.
2. Press play.
3. Let the good goofy times roll!
4. Dance, march, wiggle, jump, bounce, shake, groove, get down with your bad self!

When you loosen yourself up with your child, they loosen up as well. Dance like no one is watching (Oh Lord I hope no one was watching!)

Riley and I laughed more than we had in several days. Sawyer laughed just watching us!

Who's up for Rock and Roll Dinner Jam, pt. 2???
