So in teaching, we call it "lifelong learning"... many other people use this term as well, but the point is that "we're always learning"... so... here goes... I confess... I am still learning...
1. Growing up my sister loved "perogies"... honestly, I was always curious what they were- were they a potato? What were they!??! Caleb, LOVES perogies as well... the other night he was eating one and I looked at him in all seriousness and said "what's a perogie?" Caleb (bless his heart) put his fork down, mouth wide open (astonished that I was ACTUALLY SERIOUS), and kindly told me what it was... it's a type of spaghetti outside... hmm... I was so shocked that I called my mom to see if she knew what they were... (she KIND OF knew)... so that made me feel a bit better about it!
I've had other "learning lessons" over the past month, but I'll stop there (just in case you all think I'm crazy for not knowing what a perogie is!)... I'll go on to the other members of our family and their "lifelong learning"...
Daisy: we're working with her and trying to teach her tricks... she ALMOST knows how to roll over... and then we're going to teach her to "play dead".. however, this is a work in progress as whenever she gets "excited" she pees... I am however pleased to say that she knows when we leave to go to her crate- WITHOUT being asked... (well, sometimes) but for the most part she just goes right in! (YEAH!!!)
Panzer: oh Panzer... he's finding places in our basement to hide... this is NOT GOOD... why? These places are PIPES/venting areas... I'm so afraid he's going to get in one... oh, and speaking of Daisy/her crate... Panzer goes by her crate and the other day I caught him messing with the lock... do you know how horrible that would be if/when he opens it?! AGHH...
Caleb: basically, he's learning how to "live with me"... some of you may know that I love love LOVE April Fool's Day... yes, it IS a holiday... growing up I took this VERY SERIOUSLY... and in prepping for it this year I was SOOO excited to find out that we had a "hose/spray" in our sink (I was devastated when we built a new house in MI and my dad didn't install one for this sole reason!!!)... so... I attached a rubber band to the nozzle- I was all ready- camera in hand (pretending to tape Daisy doing tricks in the kitchen) and asked Caleb if he could get me a glass of water... the loving husband that he is didn't even hesitate- just went to the sink, turned it on, and... FAIL... Fort Knox has AWFUL pressure... I was devastated... I failed!!! I'm thinking of going to my friend Mekala's house to "test" it out on her... I need some fun on this holiday!! (more on her in my next post...) but I just realized that being married on April Fool's Day is kind of a bummer because I can't do half of the tricks I did growing up... I can't "short-sheet" my own bed!!! (I guess I have to go to google now and find some better tricks!) Other than that... Caleb is learning a lot... I'll come up with more lessons later...
