Update Blog - check

By Wednesday of this past week, I had grown weary of listening to the reptitive phrases that continuously flow out of my mouth. Phrases such as "eat your breakfast or you'll have to sit in time out" or "no screaming or you'll get a spanking". These along with several other phrases sparked the idea for making charts for both of the kids. So now I can say to the kids "eat your breakfast and you will earn your sticker for your chart". Although I still have to repeat phrases I am much happier that they can be positive and not always negative.

Ellie and Jackson accomplished a few extra things that are not listed on their charts, but are worthy of noting.

1. Taste Daddy's pancakes that he made from scratch - check
Ok, so you can tell by Ellie's face what she thought about the pancakes.

Well it's the thought that counts. He tried really hard as you can see.

2. Learn to change Jackson's diaper - check
Ellie and Jackson were playing in her room (we thought), but when we went to check on them Jackson was laying on the floor and Ellie was attempting to change his diaper.

3. Build a tent - check

4. Pose for the camera - check
