This post, which rolls in at #9, continues to surprise me with the amount of hits it gets.
Maybe it’s the title: word building, name building (and crossing the line).
Maybe people find it unintentionally when they’re trying to figure out what to do when their kids ‘cross the line’–I’m not sure.

I’d like to think I’ve got a bit better, but this countdown isn’t about me–it’s about popular posts.
But teach mama’s top 10 all-time best countdown, numero nueve, is a post that focuses on Owen and Cora’s fun during homework time one day last year–before Owen was in Kindergarten.
On this particular day, they innocently played with magnetic letters and cookie sheets, building words and playing with family names. But then my boy ate a ‘little guy funny pill’ and totally crossed the line.
Here we go. . .

During homework time, if Owen and Cora express an interest in doing something fine-motor related, Iโll certainly let them go thereโstringing beads, using chopsticks, hole-punching, cutting, anything. But for a good 10-20 minutes, we all just kind of chill out and have โwork timeโ.

Things were fine at first, but after about 20 minutes, they (okay, Owen) crossed the line.
