This was my Sunday, June 22. We got up, did a few things around the house, left at 11:15 to go to my Mum & Dad's house. Got there about 12:40, left about quarter after 3. We ate lunch, and my Dad & Hubba showed off their new vehicles to each other (my Dad got a new to him Escape). Boys!!! LOL... Got to MIL's about 20 mins later, hung out, ate dinner, and I was already e.x.h.a.u.s.t.e.d. because I'd been up the night before because it was storming bad!! I wanted to leave by around 6. After dinner I looked up & it was already 6:30. I told Hubba it was 6:30, and he said "We'll eat dessert & get out of here." About 10 mins later, I hear Kee scream & start crying & I RAN from the kitchen to the room he was in, Tris was in the doorway & I was screaming at him "MOVE!!! GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!!!" As I came into the room, there was blood going down Keenan's nose & I screamed "OH ****." So I swept him up & ran in...

My youngest is 4. He already knows how to make his bed. Albeit imperfect, he is learning. Now is a GREAT time to teach him, as warm weather is upon us & he's down to just a sheet. We've been working on it for awhile, but he got so frustrated trying to wrangle his big thick blanket. The keys to teaching any child a chore, and teaching them to actually do it are consistency & starting them young. If you make it a daily routine it becomes as habitual as eating, playing or going potty. Starting them young makes it as natural as walking & talking. Here is my little making his bed. You'll see in the last picture how chuffed he was to have done it!!!
