Turning Over a New Leaf....

Bedtime at our home can sometimes be long, drawn out event.  It frequently involves many reminders to put away laundry, clean, up, floss, brush, etc, etc, etc.

I recently had a wonderful, refreshing chat with a very wise mom. She has always been a source of encouragement, experience and wisdom.  She suggested a list might help my little buddies remember what they need to do each night.

My little dude was very concerned about the list.  His response to the ideas was, "But, Mama...I can't read everything yet."  

So I went to a modified list--with pictographs.

Tonight, 12-31-12 was our first night.  

It went well.  Little Dude took the "No Mess" part very seriously.

What a blessing it is to have such wonderful friends.
