Meelo Cat

Today's blog post is going to be short-  for the same reason that the blog hasn't had new content in a week. I have people to see, and things to do with them, so writing has taken a backseat.

Something hit me yesterday- right in the face. It was Meelo Cat  Meelo Cat is a little guy who keeps me humble and real with my kids.  So he hit me yesterday when I heard from my 15yo, in a rageous scream, "you don't listen anyway!"  For the record, at that time I'd like to make a case to the court that HE was the one not listening. But that's neither here nor there, because Meelo Cat is the lone juror and Meelo Cat wants to know, "Mom?  Did you hear him?"

This morning my Babble Mail included an article, "I don't listen to my kids." This article reminded me of Meelo Cat.  Meelo Cat is someone who came to live at our house when we got the CD Big Kid
 by Sara Hickman. The song is Look At Me- my kids immediately loved it and my ears immediately began to burn with shame.  The chorus makes my kids giggle and sing "Meelo Cat" (and now I've ruined it for you, too, huh?).

Tomorrow I'll post my Top Seven Ways to listen to your kids.  Right now I need to go- someone needs me.  I'll leave you with this video-- your kids will probably love it. In fact, the entire Big Kid CD is really fun and will have you all singing the rest of the day together.  Enjoy your kids today!
