Our Homeschooling Expedition

Where's a rock when you need one?

My daughter has an obession with being all natural.  This is usually not a problem around the house.  I just simply put the clothes and diaper back on 50 times a day.  But this has never been a problem outside the house, that is until today.  We are out shopping, I'm pushing the double stroller and the oldest boy is pushing the cart.  For some reason my little people insist on having their sun visors down all the time, no matter what.  This makes it kinda hard to see exactly what they are doing but they are strapped in a stroller right so what could they possibly be doing?  Well after awhile of going through the store I hit a bump and look down.  Dd has kicked off one of her shoes.  I pick it up and throw it in the basket down below.  This is not an unusual occurance and she'll just keep taking it off.  Pretty soon another bump, the other shoe and a sock.  I pick these up and toss them in the basket.  I then decide I'd better get the other sock before it disappears so I go take it off.  Now dd is a very social creature that waves and says hi to everyone she sees so it is not unusual for people to smile at her.  Well people started laughing as they were looking at her.  This is an unusual response so I better go peek at her.  I stand there totally mortified.  Where is that rock so I can crawl under it?  My dd has completely stripped and has stuffed her clothes behind her.  She is sitting there with a big smile and waving hi to me totally unaware that what she is doing is not proper.  I'm thinking I need to start carrying duct tape everywhere I go.  Maybe I should just keep her locked in the house until she outgrows this.  She will outgrow this right?  Boys were so much easier.

My daughter's favorite thing to do is to strip off all of her clothes and run through the house. I caught her trying to undress in the Wal-Mart shopping cart the other day. It must be a girl thing because I don't remember my son doing that at this age! My daughter is 13 days younger than yours! :) Maybe, it's a girlie age thing?

I loved your story. Thanks for sharing. Right now, mine keeps her stripping activities confined to her bed, which would be fine except she does it BEFORE she goes to sleep at night and before her nap, so you see where this is GOING!! I did 3 loads of her laundry this week, if that tells you anything.

Thanks for your comments on my post about my little. Its definitely tough and I think our biggest problem is that she really doesn't want to be restrained in her chair right now. I'll get some new toys and ideas out for her, though and we'll see how that goes.

And, the grammar research really worked. My daughter is back into her curriculum and really doing a GREAT job where she was previously struggling. I'm so pleased that we stopped our curriculum and took the step back.

I'll enjoy continuing to read your blog!!
