Today we had a family meeting to talk about the kids whining. (This is not the first meeting for whining.) We talked about going to the "happy mat" and trying again, with respect. I should mention that this meeting took place in the car because that is where the kids have spent the afternoon playing. Elliana buckles her babies in and Andy takes his trains out for a ride too. Chris and I were thinking our meeting was about finished so we asked the kids if they had anything to share. Elliana said yes, she wanted to "share" at the park and take turns pushing her babies. I think we better explain what we mean by sharing next time. However, she finished her sharing time by thanking God for His love (said like she was praying). Very confusing, but sweet. Andy shared that he wanted us out of the car so they could continue to play.
Really the meeting was to motivate us parents to stick to the happy mat and stop them from whining so much! We will see how we do in the coming weeks.
Micah is out of the hospital and doing great! We received a video on Friday. This is our first video and we have watched it over and over. We cannot wait to hold him in our arms!
