Merry - mainly my kids get the credit, but the loving vs discipline evolved this summer as it became obvious what worked. Our girls and my son -in-law were free-range kids and they are determined to have that as much as possible for the boys.

Most of our extended family are in service of others, either by occupation or as volunteers, so why and how we do things is often a topic for us. One ot the hardest things now is how we are unable to get together so we chat one on one

As one of my busy nieces pointed out in May, this enforced time-out gave us all time to evaluate our priorities.

Snack time stay positive today everyone.
