I have just looked out every window of our house and although there are stars shining bright, I cannot for the life of me find the moon right now...yet, by the way the girls were acting tonight, I'm pretty sure there must be a full moon grinning (or maybe even laughing histerically)in the sky tonight.
My neighbor is the one who introduced me to the full moon = overactive kids theory and after several months of tallying, I am buying it.
On any given day, no matter which phase the moon is in, the girls argue, bicker, fight, and scream...oh yeah, there's a whole lot of screaming/shrieking/hollering/shouting that goes down between the two of them. Of course, we intervene and try and try again to get them to speak their thoughts instead of yelling them. Unfortunately, that often means we end up yelling too, since our normal voices couldn't possibly be heard at that point.
However, right around the time of a full moon, they act...different.
They have honest to goodness fun with each other but it's a silly, excited, and really, really, really LOUD kind of fun.
Honestly, it drives me absolutely crazy... but I really wish they had this complicity every day.
Of course it's easy to say this now that they are both tucked in bed and quiet, but hearing them laugh together is precious. Let this post be a reminder for next month!
