You Pinspire Me
If you’ve ever watched The West Wing, you probably noticed that POTUS, Jed Bartlett, puts his coat on in a really strange manner. One second, it’s in front of him, the next second, it’s whipped over his head and the he’s wearing it. Last week, my daughter walked into the livingroom with her coat on. “Me DO IT!” she yelled. She took the coat off again, put it on the floor, bent over, stood up, then flung the coat over her head and she was wearing it!
I texted my husband: “A just did the Bartlett Jacket Flip!! How did she learn to do that?!”
I posted on Facebook about it. My kid’s a GENIUS! And then people started telling me, “Oh, yeah, my kid learned how to do that in Daycare. They call it the “Daycare Flip!” Who knew? Apparently this is a thing! And let me tell you – it’s a BRILLIANT thing! My 2 year old daughter can put her coat on faster than my 3.5 year old son! (I’m currently trying to teach him how to do it, but because A puts her coat on that way, he thinks that way is for BABIES!
Check it out – it’s really simple, really easy. And do your friends with young kids a favour, too – share the video with them on Facebook! I only wish I knew about this method 2 years ago!!
In other news, I can’t believe that my 2 year old daughter is already teaching me how to do new things…

Cute. My kids learned how to do that in junior kindergarten. The teachers called it the “magic flip.”
We called that the Kindergarten Flip at school!
And how come you never taught this to Hendrik?? 🙂
So. Fricking. Cute!!
