"He's at the 30... the 20... he's passing the garden rake...it's a TOUCHDOWN!!!"
Seth's new craze is playing football - any time. He will drag us out to "go to the touchdown zone" and will interject comments such as:
"Mommy, we are both blue. We are both on the blue team. Here's your blue shirt. I am number 1453. You are just blue. I will score. I am running. I am blue..." He says these things over and over. Then when he scores he does his little dance of joy and shouts "YES!! YES!! IT'S THE TOUCHDOWN ZONE!!!"
...and...
"You are NOT my best friend." This happens when I happen to score a touchdown. I discovered that all of my kids hate to lose at any game. I think this is probably due to me letting them win all the time. I tell them I'll beat them racing up the stairs, and I always lose... I play "Let's get dressed faster than Mommy" in the morning... but now they all HATE to lose. Any of you parents out there figure out how to fix this particular character flaw? I was thinking I might just start beating them at stuff and then tell them to "suck it up, buttercup"... but is that really the best way? How else do they learn this kind of stuff?
