Lots of fun was had today with Abby. First we went to the craft store (exciting!) and got some stickers, pom poms, crayons, and some supplies to make a “Good Girl Chart” for Abby. Sunday was so rough for us parenting wise (Edgar was actually looking forward to going to work to get peace of mind). Her behaviour was…snotty to say the least. Today I told her we are going to start a chart where when she is good she gets a star and when she is bad she gets a “X” (couldn’t find sad face stickers) at the end of the week she can have a treat if she has more stars than “X”‘s. The categories are: potty, listening, politeness, sharing, and time out. So far threatening her with a “X” has worked but it’s the first day so we shall see! We moved her playroom back downstairs and spent a small fortune on some playmats to put down there so the floor is softer and in the winter warmer, so we did our crafts in there today.
After the train we headed over to the playground, it’s was so hot. About 105 with the humidity. Thank goodness the playgrounds there are shaded with lots of trees, for some reason no playgrounds here have trees around them and are sooo hot you feel like you are melting. Weird they didn’t think about that when they constructed them. Of course all the kids were running around and sweating with no worries at all 🙂
