How'd my 6 year old get so smart so fast?
He was pouting. When he pouts, he stops responding, and you can just see him...dragging. He was annoyed about CJ trying to teach him a certain way to throw a baseball. It was typical "first born/leader" vs "independent child" stuff. No big. But he was pouting.
I'd had enough. I looked at him from across the room and said "In 5 seconds I'm coming over there to dance for you if you don't knock it off." He didn't. So I went over, singing and dancing all over him.
My smart Gemini froze. Didn't crack a smile. Didn't make eye contact. Didn't move to push me off of him or away from his face.
And it WORKED. I went away. Someone told him that the Leo's in the house will leave you alone if you stay real still...it's like we can't see you and get bored and go away. Smart, smart Joshy.
