Figuring Things Out...FINALLY

Well after 3 weeks of hotel life, I think we FINALLY have things figured out over here...just in time for us to move out in a week. ;)

For the past few weeks, we have had the everyday battle over who is going to push the elevator buttons (inside and out), who will be the one to get Spencer out of his "house" and on a leash for a walk, who gets to use the room key to open the door, etc...

You never realize how simple things would be if you just did EVERYTHING on your own and avoid the sibling squabbles associated with taking on responsibility. The kids helped create a system of every other day tasks to trade off back and forth. We brainstormed what would be fair from day to day and put a schedule together. This was quite the learning experience for A & D to help and assist and actually have a say in the decision making process.

Now I hear all the time "Hey Mom, I got a good idea!" My little monkeys are turning into some GREAT problem solvers! :)
