Togetherness

We spent most of Saturday at home.

The boys played Wii and ate cereal under G's supervision, while I ran errands. Then we cleaned house with our newly obtained cleaning supplies (thanks for the spring cleaning sale, Target!)

The boys are very willing helpers and seem to soak up the praise that accompanies chores. I can't imagine that they LIKE scrubbing toilets or dusting, but they like being helpers and the one on one time that seems to be necessary to supervise.

Later we all played Wii- which was pretty wild. The boys are very vocal and physical (lots of shouting & jumping around) which G had to put the kibosh on, so we could all see the screen at the same time.

Much like chores, playing 4 player Mario can actually be good for them. G calls Nintendo therapy, I call it teamwork and respect. Shouting at your brother isn't gonna make him play any better, GUYS.

In all, a good day. Got things accomplished, had fun & I didn't want to knock any heads together by the end of it. Amazing!
