Project Update #1

I don't have any metrics in place yet, but I can say that today, at least, I managed to change the way I did things a little. My girls didn't watch any of their TV shows today. Though that was largely due to the fact that Daddy was home this morning and kept them entertained while Mommy tried to convince herself to actually wake up... but still! My big personal accomplishment today was that I let Bean use her watercolors. (No, my child is not actually named Bean, but since this is a public blog, I am going to at least attempt to secure some privacy for my children. Bean is one of the nicknames of my oldest daughter.) Anyway, she was given some watercolors for her birthday and I have been hesitant to let her get them out because all I could think about was the potential mess... But today we got them out. I took one of Hubby's old t-shirts and cut it up the back to make a smock and set her at the kitchen table and taught her how to use her watercolors. She had a blast and the mess was minimal. It's a small step, but a step nonetheless. Yea for progress!
