How to Have Fun as a Mom

Here is my favorite thing to do this semester. Since Josh is not working, Lola and I need to torment him occasionally (we are both still going to "work," aka, school). When it is time for Josh to get up to take Lola to school, I say to Lola: "Go get Dada." She understands completely the regressive tone of my suggestion (Josh has been "Daddy" for about a year), and she runs into the bedroom, yelling, "Da DA!" at precisely the level of his sleeping head. It's good fun.--K
