Getting Ready for School

0013

Kindergarten is just a month away, and I am so not ready for Thade to go… We are trying to get back on track and ready for those early school mornings.  I’m working on getting up extra early, and trying to become a morning person without coffee. Thade is keeping busy too by practicing his writing, and working on other kindergarten skills too.

I know the month is going to fly by, and kindergarten will be here before we know it.

Wii Bucks

0012

Thade loves the Wii! Thade loves the Wii so much that he obsesses about it 24 hours a day, and it’s driving this Mommy and Daddy crazy. Since Thade can’t play the Wii 24 hours a day, like he wishes he could, James and I came up with Wii bucks so Thade can earn his Wii time.

He can earn 30-60 minutes by helping out around the house, having a good attitude out in public, and even helping out with his little Brother too.  The Wii bucks are already starting to pay off too, yesterday he earned 30 minutes, but he decided that he was done playing after 15 minutes. When the time was up, he turned off the Wii, with no complaints and without a gigantic 5 year old temper tantrum.

I think that the Wii bucks are going to come in pretty handy around here, and maybe I can get some of my sanity back.
