Princess only pinched me once today.

It was conflict over the living room. Princess had cleared stuff out to make a dance floor, and was dancing some "Space Musical" songs with Little Sis. Then she temporariy abandoned the room, and I was actually succeeding in my effort for LS to finish her homework (modify her Leprachuan trap to make it a trap, then write a few sentences on what it was and how it worked). Just as LS was finishing her mini-essay, Princess wanted her dance space back.  So Yell and pinch.

Bad news....I yelled and walked off, essentially caving. But LS did finish her homework. And that was the only real outburst/tantrum of the evening. So perhaps good news there.

Earlier I had watched Princess and Little Sis dance. Princess was the announcer, the CD player operator, and the choreographer. They had an actual routine, and Princess let LS take turns with moves of her own. They both are into cheer and dance. The weird thing is we have had a very spotty record taking Princess to dance and cheer classes.....the basic hypothesis we have is that Princess likes to dance, but doesn't like being told what to do, and many dance/cheer classes are essentialy having someone else tell you exactly what to do.

Anyways, so Princess is not learning dances from classes at the moment...rather from whatever she's doing in afterschool program, from Wii dance games, and what she sees on television and youtube.
