can i have some celery, PLEASE??

that's what my SON said this morning!!?? he loves celery!! the changes in this house this summer have been incredible!

miraculous...blessed.

we eat 3 meals at the table (i think that in and of itself is a huge reason he-we all is-are doing better).

i am cooking all kinds of things for the whole family, and we have established that he must take 6 bites of whatever i present each meal in order to earn his BIG TOY at the end of the summer.

there is no battle. the rules are clear. it's his choice to earn a happy face or not. the happy faces add up!! (NOTE: those with kiddos who have serious sensory issues...this has been a solid year of desensitizing!! this is NOT a first step!! the first step is to remove all pressure!)

mermaid has been HAPPY in the mornings!!

oh, did i mention that i have slept through the night for over a week...OVER A WEEK...for the first time in six years!!?? God is slapping me with good stuff...and i am loving it!

my mini-boot-camp-home-school started this week. i am watching 2 kiddos (exact age and gender of my kiddos!!) for a friend who just got a job. it's working out nicely, and it will be good to make some side money!! but it is keeping me very busy!! will try to post some summer pics tomorrow!

OH...and i have had great success with my menu for the week...i will try to post that, also!
