The kids slept great last night. never got up. We do not have tv in their rooms...nor in the house.
Just one that is hooked up to a dvd. Their tv and techy stuff is limited.
Having no tv is something that they are adjusting to very well. They find so many other things to do with their time. We are working with Adam to try and get him to be more independent. It's a struggle sometimes but we don't give up. For example, trying to get him to go into the bathroom in the am first thing to take his diaper off, go potty and get dressed. He fights it but is understanding the longer it takes him, the longer it is for him to get on with his morning and either play with the pups, paint, eat....
He resisted pouring his own cheerios into the bowl but finally did it. The more we make him "do" the more he builds his confidence that he can do it on his own and doesn't need someone to do it all for him. Same with putting on his socks and shoes. It's a struggle but we're hopeful it'll become automatic for him...second nature. We are trying to teach them the skills to take care of themselves and be independent.
