KIWI update

Kira is crying when we drop her off at daycare now. She hates being caged in with the baby gates that her provider uses. She apparently screamed like crazy the other day when she couldn't go into the next room with the older kids. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Will twisted his ankle today. He tells me is leg is only "half-broken". We finally bought him a bike helmet and he's anxious to take the training wheels off. He hasn't been eating his sandwiches at lunch lately. I cut his PB&J into 6 little star shaped (cookie cutter) mini-sandwiches and taped a note on his tupperware "EAT ME OR NO TV". I told him that each mini-sandwich was worth 10 minutes of TV time. He showed his friends the note and the sandwiches and ate 4 of them. We're making progress!

  1. Good math lesson as well: more star-shaped sandwiches = more minutes = more TV time. He'll be doing multiplication in no time.

    Glad his leg is only "half broken" and hope the daycare crying thing gets better quickly.

  2. You're such a natural mother. Star-shaped sandwiches to get your kid to eat? Can you make a Cliffs Notes version of parenting for me?
