HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAX!  Love you bug!

Monthly Goal:

Today I bought Max new church clothes because I was getting embarrassed by his floods.

Don’t forget to leave a comment about something good you did today so you can be entered in our drawing for a $25 GC.  Go here to learn more about our giveaway.

Today’s Activity:

Watch a movie with your kids today.

Note:

Don’t allow yourself to have any distractions.  Just sit with them and enjoy listening to their laughter.

Evaluate:

Rather than doing this the day before you guys do I’m going to do it today.  Today is Max’s birthday and after we take him out for his birthday dinner my husband has to got back to work so the kids and I are going to rent a movie and have a little celebration on our own.

RECOGNITION!

Joylyn let her 2 year old help her clean the house and as we all know, things generally get done quicker when we do them ourselves.  Way to go Joylyn I’m sure your kiddo loved it!

Today’s Activity:

Take a moment to relax and just watch your children play and interact with each other.

Notes:

Seeing them play together and solve their own problems is a great way to see what areas they are struggling in…plus when you’re not watching is usually when they say the cutest things.

Evaluate:

It was so much fun watching my kids interact.  Elese had gotten some new birthday toys and together they figured out how to use them and got along MOST of the time.  Later on while Max was at school Elese just played for the longest time talking to her self and pretending to be different characters depending on the toy in her hand at that particular time.  I found so much joy in just watching them just  be themselves.

Relax today and reflect on the things you are thankful for.  Thanksgiving is this week so set aside the stress of stuffing the turkey and just enjoy the day.
