Despite the rain that has been pouring out of the sky all day, today has been a very enjoyable start to 2009. The girls have been getting along fantastically (partly due to the start of a new way of earning tv time - they earn minutes for good behavior, mostly meaning GETTING ALONG and not screaming in each other's faces and pulling hair and jabbing fingers into each other, etc., etc.). I've tried lots of other methods and this one is actually working. We have had 3 very peaceful days after a doozy of a day on Monday. I'm hopeful that it will continue into this new year.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with their families. We had a very snowy and relaxing time with Molly, Sous, and the kids and Mom and Dad up in Seattle. On Friday, we celebrated Nathan's first birthday. He is walking and into everything. Such a cute little guy. The addition of some boy energy to the girl vibe is a welcome addition.
Happy first birthday Nathan!
