Weight Loss

Well, Its official! I am 1 pound away, from losing 20 pounds. YEAH!!! I like my new look, and I can't wait to lose 20 more!!! I Love you guys, so PLEASE! Please keep encouraging me to stick with it, and Cheer me On!!!!


So,nothing much here! Today, we had lesson day, where I teach the kids to use their words towards each other and not to raise their voices, cause that leads to tuning out!!!!

First up, My sweet Mason his lesson was about Manipulating, Yes! Manipulating, can you believe it! Kids knows these things!!!

We had set up the air bouncer in the living room, for Daniel,Kayce,Mason and Conner to enjoy! They were all playing a game, where 2 of the players were laying up by the "windows" of the air bouncer, and the other one Jumped up and down, to try to get them to roll in the middle.

And my son, started crying and said he wasnt going to play, if he didnt get to take his turn right then!!!
So, Daniel(peacemaker) talks his sister Kayce to wait so Mason could have a turn....Puhlease! Well I made Mason get out and we had a talk. I told him , that crying to get a turn was unacceptable! Then I asked him,wasn't Mommy making sure everyone was getting a turn, whether or not They "won" when they rolled in the middle, he said (sniff) yes. Then if you know you were going to take the turn, why are you crying (sniff) I don't know! Well lets try this again, and for some reason, your turn gets missed, you just say I didnt get a turn(in a nice voice of course)and you will achieve your turn. But when kids cry to get their way, its not fun!!

Daniels lesson was on Dictating!
Daniel is a helper,peacemaker! But,Today he was being dictator from recliner, if Kayce and Mason got loud(he was watching a cartoon) he would say "I Can't Hear!!!)Then , next thing I know he is telling them don't do this,don't don't that!!!! They can't talk this way, you can't say that!! all from the recliner.
So, I had let this go on for most of the morning, due to I think they need to work things out for themself. But I have had enough,and they were all yelling(not at each other) but in General and then came Daniel the Dictator.

So I sent him to Mason's room to cool off and take a nap! Well 30 minutes later, i hear Daniel saying he had taken a nap, but I knew better. So I went in and told him, that he can not tell people what to do,when to do it, and try to yell louder than them to get their point across, escpecially if he was not interacting with Kayce and Mason. I could understand if he was trying to make up a game, and trying to set rules or something then It would be Different, but he got over it, and started interacting with them, and playing different made up games, and the sonic boom noise settled down, and so did my nerves!!!

Kayce's was consequences, boy oh! boy is this Girl a cutie, she will actually let me paint her nails and we play beauty shop, its fun! But sometimes she get stubborn!
Well today was that day! They were playing a trick game, where everyone sits on the side, and everyone gets a turn to do their funny trick. Well it was Mason's turn and Kayce decided to plant herself in the middle. First it was nice voices Can you please move ,Kayce? No movement. As she sat there, looking at them ,it grew more intense. I was also sitting there, supervising..LOL as well not saying anything, so they can work it out! Then I hear Daniel, Ms. Bradley, can you tell Kayce to move so we can have a turn. So, I instructed her to move,no movement. So, I told her that I would allow the boys to take their turn, and if she got hurt, did she know who's faul;t it would be? She said No! I said, It would be Kayce's Do you know why? Why! Because Kayce didn't move from the center, when they were playing a game. So, Kayce when they do their trick, and you get hurt, because your not obeying, then that is a consequence you will have to deal with.

Well, she moved before Mason did his trick, cause she knew I wasn't going to hear it, if that happened.
That was my day of lessons......sorry so long, but i knew you would get a kick out of them.....I love these kids, I love all kids. I like to hug em, squeeze em. I like to kiss em to, but I wait awhile till I overflow with kisses, cause some kids freak out! My Ashlyn, and My Rachel are fun, to do that with, as well as my 2 boys, i kiss them all the time, I actually chase Mason down to give him kisses, he loves it!!!!
