I Heart You, "Room Time"

Yesterday afternoon, the kids had just kind of had it with each other (to put it lightly). And when they start picking at each other, I start picking at them. It wears on me to see them hating on each other (but then, why do they LOVE to be right next to each other?...and me!).

This morning, 10 minutes into our day, they started to argue.

No way, Jose.

So, after breakfast, I announced, "When the timer goes off, we will have ROOM TIME!"

"What's ROOM TIME?"

"ROOM TIME is time that we spend in our room. All by ourself. Momma will have two things out for you to play with. Two things you haven't played with in a while."

So, while the timer ticked away its last few seconds, I quickly straightened each little's room & sat out two game/activities/toys they hadn't seen in a month or so.

That was 10 precious minutes ago. Thankfully it's worked out, as I've been on hold for 9 minutes waiting for an at&t representative.

Looks like we'll be having ROOM TIME a couple of times each day, from now on!
