Getting Started

Today we were doing a twenty minute clean up. Jonny was working on dishes. He made a comment about how we should just get in the habit of doing the dishes after a meal. Hmm...what a great idea. I told him that we used to be in the habit of cleaning up the kitchen after a meal - but, not so much anymore. And yes, we need to get back to that. There are routines we need to get back to and others that we need to incorporate into our day. I think it's great when the kids mention it. Well, I mostly do. If they're mentioning something sometimes it means we've hit a new low. That's the part I don't like. The part I do like is that they are thinking about issues and solutions. They are more invested in helping out if they understand the reason for it. I think that's big. So, I'm glad he mentioned something. We'll need to get on that one. We're meeting tonight. Maybe we'll discuss household routines. At least it's a start.

Creativity

Maybe a little creativity will help with being organized as well.

Organized Learning

One of the things I wanted to address on this blog is how we attempt to stay organized around here. Or, maybe I will just share about the lack of organization around here. We have both - depending on the day. Although, I typically feel like I'm more on the 'not so organized' end of the spectrum. It just might be because I think I'm on the 'spectrum' and have issues with executive functioning.
I want to share more about what we're doing and some of the learning opportunities our kids have these days. It's been fun to enjoy adventures together.
