Jumpin',Slidin' and Manners

We got a new place that we can spend some free time at in Sugar Land. It's called Stomping Grounds and is wonderful for little ones. The boys and I met our friends, the Hill's, there today for some fun. It is pure heaven for boys!

Can I just tell you that my two boys ran so much they were sweating?! Teague couldn't even sit still for a group photo. Jackson crawled through tunnels, climbed on nets, and slid down slides. He and Cavett had a ball. Teague found everything very interesting. He wanted me to push him to the top of the slide so he could slide down over and over again. Those slides were fast! He would slide so fast that he would end up on his back when he landed, but he still wanted to do it over and over again. Then, he just wanted to "wonder" around. He kept following the maintenance man and the cleaning lady around the place. He found them to be fascinating. He even helped the cleaning lady and he and Kendrick had fun banging on tables together. It was just like we always hear, you buy a toy for a baby and they want to play with the box. And when they got home, they fell fast asleep. What a fun day it was!

Tonight I discovered the girls making charts to earn points for their manners. I don't know why this came up, but this was all Emma's idea and Bailey went right along with it. I took pictures of their charts for evidence. Evidence that they HAVE been taught to use their manners- even when they choose not to at times! These are classic...I especially love Bailey's where it says, "coming (instead of wait)" - which means she does hear me when I ask her to come here!!! Now, look closely at Emma's: "coming now- (when your mom ses come here- notice the pattern here) and nice metting u". These are definitely going in the girls treasure boxes. They will just laugh their heads off some day!!
