a diving board

Sometimes Mondays are tough. I found myself telling my kids "no" or "stop that" or "go to time out" probably a hundred times today. I had just dumped another load of laundry onto the floor to hopefully be folded soon when I heard Cohen say "look mom, I made a diving board". I started in on my "no" "stop that" "no diving boards in the house" talk but then realized who cares? It made him happy to jump into the pile of clothes over and over again. And nobody broke their leg, arm, face...so it was a success. :)

Good for you! I love it! It does get so easy to keep saying NO, and STOP all the time, but if I can catch myself in the moment and think about WHY I really don't want them doing this or that, I realize, it's totally a lame reason and why not let them have fun!? It really is SO freeing! (for them and me!) I hope you are well! What is this whole Vegan thing about!? Send me a message!
