Sara and Tyler seem to be grumpy these days. I think that it is going around though. Between the time change and weather change I think we all have a right to get a little grumpy. The good thing about the moods is that it comes and goes. So I do get a little break from it.
We are working with Sara on how to open presents. She loves to feel it rip and she like to pull at the paper too. She is doing so good for the girls now that work with her. Sara is doing so well that she is starting to get more vocal with them. Which is nice because she use to not utter a single sound til they left.
She is also starting to try to get out of doing work by throwing fits. It is funny and then again it isn't. I don't want her thinking that she can just throw a fit and get out of working with them. They are only here for an hour. But on the other hand I wonder if her back is really hurting. Who knows?!
Tyler has been giving me fits too, hence the title "Just another day in Paradise". So we are starting something new with him. We are going to let him earn money. I was watching Super nanny and she used this method. We don't believe in paying him for chores.
That is something that we all do as a family. So we are going to give him $10 a week but there is a catch. If he does any of the negative things during the week we take a quarter out of the $10. So we will add up all of the tallies and subtract it from the $10. Easy, Easy!!
He loves it! He said "Oh, man! If I'm good I can have $20 in two week, that is awesome!" So I hope it works, I will let you guys know. Sorry that this is taking so long! But there is something important that I want to say. My kids birthdays are coming.
It really is special because how hard they both had to fight to stay here with us. Tyler is going to be 11 (Nov 30) and Sara is going to be 5 (Dec 7) !! Praise the Lord!
