A Little More Fun..



Sometimes I feel all I do is correct B. 
"Bristol please don't put the WHOLE roll of toilet paper in the toilet, No, B you cannot scale the stairs, B stop pulling Gage's tail, Get out of what used to be my flower bed..." 
The list goes on. 

The other night I was thinking about this and though necessary it isn't fun for me - or B. 
How would you like to be told "No" or corrected constantly. 
Exactly. 

So I decided to make a plan to have more "positive" experiences with her. More fun. 

This morning was just that. 
We took a quilt and A TON of books outside, sat in the sun and read. She read to me, I read to her, we read to Gage. 
Then we COVERED our driveway with sidewalk chalk. ( My husband LOVES this... not really) 
We traced hands, each other, did hopscotch and drew about 200 hearts. 

Finally, B decided to go swimming - fully clothed. 
It was a nice morning toped off with Grilled Cheese and homemade chocolate milkshakes. 

I need to do this more. 
It was fun. :)
