Spontaneity

Lets be honest, I love schedules, to do lists, and organization. But this weekend, spontaneity served us well.

I so appreciate those who are flexible enough for an evening of friends and laughter with only a few hours notice and those who understand that there is always an occasion for some fro-yo!

Evils

In order to combat the independent will of a 3 year old (as a wise friend shared, 3 is 2 with intent) I find myself offering choices. Many times, its the lesser of two evils; "you can either eat your dinner or go to bed" - "you can speak nicely or have a seat in time out".

What if there isn't a semi-positive option?

Hopefully my children will choose not to let the evil in or let it out.....

The "evil" depicted above are characters in Disney on Ice (Bruce - the shark from Nemo, Genie from Aladdin, and Beast from Beauty & the Beast)
