Today we got to go on a "homeschooling field trip" to the free "zoo" (aka, pet store). The kids love it!
In an unusual turn of events, I'm wondering if these were even my children or if they were replaced by pod people. They were so well behaved today, they were like wonderful, mythical children from a 1950s television show. Chris and I noticed it first thing this morning when I was making breakfast and the children were playing in the bonus room and we could overhear that there was no screaming for 15 minutes, and, in fact, they were playing beautifully together with John using a kind, gentle tone of voice in all their interactions. That continued all day to my utter astonishment. It was just the best day ever! Thank you, God!
I totally understand that feeling. It makes me so happy when they play together quietly, that is without pulling a toy from each others arms!
ReplyDeleteI had one of those amazing, cooperative days yesterday myself! The kids were awesome, played well together, I was productive, and I even had some time to myself to relax!!!
ReplyDeleteIt all changed today, but yesterday was bliss...
