After taking the kids to the park with donuts for a 'breakfast picnic' and playing hard for a while we came home and they had snack time. Then I had them go sit in the living room for quiet book reading time (you do know that even though young kids can't 'read' they can still 'read'??) I said, 'For 15 minutes you are going to sit quietly and read books.' Hmmmm...the 'very tempting part'?? They don't know how to tell time! They don't know 15 minutes from 30 minutes!!! I COULD make them sit there longer without them even knowing. But, being an honest Mother...I will keep it at 15 minutes! But...it is Very Tempting!Tuesday, July 3, 2007

Enjoy this - they'll be able to tell time before you know it!
That is funny! I'm going to have to remember that little trick when I have my kids.
