Getting it together

Sarina looks at me in awe, though she tries to conceal her amazement at my reactions to Lathan. I laugh because that's what I do, how I handle all my situations. If I am angry and have no resolution for my problem I laugh. So the same goes for Lathan, I laugh at my neglect to train him to obey. Hence, the markings on my desk, the bingo dobber spots on my daughters floor, the spills of water regularly because he lacks the same discipline the others have. This is the child that has all my girlfriends laughing at me. "Oh, Angelina, this is too good". Actually its not, but I can see now where they are coming from, any mom who has said, "I need a break". The truth is I just need to stay on it.

What do you do with the little guy?

I was asked just recently what Lathan does while I am homeschooling the other three. I have posted a little clip of one of his activities. To be honest I had forgotten all together how to parent over the summer. Not sure if it was knowing that Lathan is most likely my last little guy or just laziness. It is important to say that having stayed on top of Souriya all her life has only blessed me immensely. Granted, she is not perfect, but boy do I appreciate the perspective she grew up with. Here I am implementing all the simple strategies like Schedule, CONSISTENCY of what is Expected and Accepted, and Teaching Self-Discipline, while receiving great results!

A special Thank you goes out to my best friend Sarina, for being my CONSTANT reminder, I love you.
