Apatate

Trey is really into ninja's right now.  His new favorite show is Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.  A few days ago he started telling me about this thing called 'apatating'.  "Mom, you have to close your eyes and think and if someone talks it makes it had to apatate.  I was confused so I told him to show me!  I instantly knew he meant meditating however I find it cute so I still haven't corrected him.  Anyway, yesterday I decided all the boys need hair cuts and since Summer is almost over I wanted to give them one last 'summer cut' before I have to start combing it again.  Trey wasn't on board until I told him it made him look like a ninja.  Well, while he was getting his cut I needed him to sit still because he kept jumping off the stool and doing ninja moves so I told him to 'apatate'.  I started laughing so hard when as he was apatating I heard him say, "Don't worry.  It will grow back."  Today he apatated through the sacrament.  Heck, I thought it was great.  He could have apatated through the entire meeting in fact, but he didn't.  He spent the rest of the time crying for fruit snacks.  It was nice while it lasted.

I laughed through this whole blog post. My boys are totally into ninjas and power rangers right now too! Glad that his apatating is working to your advantage! :)

I was wondering what that title meant! Love that pose! I wish I could meditate more often. I can't sit still for more than 10 seconds without getting fidgety.
