This happened today:
Charlotte: "Mom, I don't have enough energy for walking today."
Me: "Ok, then you can run!"
Charlotte: "I don't have enough energy for that."
Me: "Ok, then you can skip!"
Charlotte: "I don't have enough energy for that."
Me: "You can hop instead."
Charlotte: "I don't have enough energy for that, either." [pouty pouty]
Me: "Oh, well... then you probably don't have enough energy for twirling like a princess. Being a princess is so much work. It takes so much energy."
Charlotte: "oh, MOM.... I have all the energy for that."
So we twirled our way to the store this afternoon. I got no complaints and we entertained the passersby. It's all about perspective. :)

You tricky mom! That's more tiring than walking or skipping, don't you think?
I didn't say she has a brain like a steel trap. She's four. lol
I heartily agree, Mrs. Fuzz, twirling takes more energy. Which is why I was cracking up. :)
The difference is that twirling as a princess also RENEWS energy, so it's a net-zero expenditure.
Admit it... you feel more energized when you twirl like a princess, don't you!
