Or as I like to call it, All Wound Up! This week's Manic Monday theme is Wind. I decided to let each of my babies show you a different take on this. Plus, I was too busy reading this weekend to write anything. (And no, I haven't skipped to the end. I'm about 300 pages in right now, and it's killing me not to!)
Anyway, first we have a 1-minute clip of Eli at his swimming lessons last week. He had a great time, but he is going to need a smidge more practice. This clip is of him practicing the back float. The part I love is the way he kicks his little legs in the air. It's like his wind up!
Next, I have Georgia with her version of Wind. In this clip, she was very angry with me because she wanted to carry her yogurt all around the house and eat it. I was making her stay in the kitchen, and this caused her to get extremely wound up. It's only a 43-second clip. I had to stop the camera because she launched herself off the kitchen cabinet at me.

I've got to say that I prefer the first wind-up much more than the second though my kids have done plenty of that one over the years, too!
Have a great weekend and good luck with that book! My daughter read her copy almost cover to cover in one sitting!
what an interesting and great take on the theme!! I love that you added your kids into this post :) Happy MM.
Your children are beautiful even in a wound up state. I won't tell you the end other than to say she answers all the questions.
Didn't think about a verb, lol ! I only thought about the blowing wind.
Awww - what a great post! I actually like the second one best - to be so young and have worries such as not being able to carry your snack around!
:-)
Great job on this week's theme!
Go Eli, Go...he'll be a shark in no time. :)
Georgia's little breakdown looks like a familiar sight around our house. With a "terrible" two year old and a "diva" four year old...that is a daily occurrence.
thanks for sharing those videos. i had fun viewing them.
happy mm!
Oh my heck, just like with my kids!
Nice use of the word wind. Have a great MM with Mo. :)

Happy MM!
Very cute examples of being all wound up! My 2 yr old cries just like that :D Happy MM!
