I am getting in the swing of things over the last week with "school" or at least our version of it. I am enjoying the home time with the kids, and we are really enjoying our NEW home.
I recently, after taking advice from some moms I know, started posting our daily prayers and guidelines for behavior in our kitchen where we spend most of our time. I invested money in some really sweet Rosary videos and was elated when Max asked if he could watch it again ( despite that it was made in 1990...lol) I am pleased that his behavior seems to be improving since we are enforcing the rules much more consistently, and we are actively participating in each others lives. I have started reminding him about the rules which is easy since they are posted right where everyone can see them. I love that he enjoys washing the dishes, and he does a good job. I love that he is learning to do chores with a gracious and giving heart so that we can spend more time together doing fun things. I love that he has taken an interest in my day so that I can turn around and take more of an interest in his life.
I am really enjoying this time in our lives, and if you had seen me at the Schiele Museum a week ago, you might think this post is a joke! Max has really been a trying child. I am not sure whats been going on with him but Mike and I decided that we need a break from reality. We have been staying at home alot. We have been insisting he follows the rules and insisting he make the restitution when he breaks them...its working so far. We still have a long way to go, but I am thankful for the Faith I get to share with my children because its really making our home life better.
Praise Jesus!
