Slow Obedience is ........

We have really been having a time with Kyle and his behavior. It is the talking back and telling us he is not going to do what we tell him.

Well, thank God for my Mom tell me something to try.

She told me when were visiting them the other week that a Kindergarten teacher at her work really uses obedience as her golden rule. Her saying is Slow Obedience is Disobedience. So I started trying. If I tell Kyle to pick up his and he doesn't start right then or says something back I have tell me what he is doing he says " Slow obedience is disobedience" So Kyle what are you suppose to do? Pick up my toys OK so that is what I want to see. It works!!! He cleans up his toys, puts his own clothes on all by himself. I only have to tell him once.



We also have been rewarding him with a movie rental bbonce a week for Best Behavior. The movie rentals are only .99 ea to rent.

We started a chart with very best behavior, best, good and bad behavior. That counts for treats to no treats.

and

I am so glad that both of these things are working!!!



Thank you mama!! I couldn't live with out you!!!!!

A prayer so sweet.

My heart is happy when I am laying down with Layla and I am almost asleep forgetting one very important thing and little hands grab mine and say mommy pray!

It makes my heart happy when I have the plates at the table and Kyle says mommy: When need to pray!

It makes my heart happy when I hurt myself and Layla says: Mommy I kiss it and pray for you.

It makes my heart happy when Kyle wants to pray for dinner and this is what he says: Dear Jesus thank you for today and for this food. Amen.

It makes my heart happy to see my children love Jesus so innocently. Wow thank you God for guiding me daily with my two miracles that you have trusted with me!
