Explanation
Some people have been asking me about my blog lately so I figure I might as well explain myself on here. I'm pregnant with our second child and during the first trimester I found it harder to function with morning sickness. So, I used the tv as a babysitter while I laid next to Lincoln. Once I finally started feeling better I realized that Lincoln watches way too much tv and I wasn't being the mom that I wanted to be to him. So our new rule is that Lincoln can watch a show in the morning when he wakes up but no tv after his nap ( which also includes when Thomas gets home until Lincoln goes to bed. He only gets to see Lincoln for about half an hour each day so now they spend the time playing). In order for me to hold myself to this I set a personal goal to share our crafts/ playtimes/ outings on my blog so that I would stick to it. Yesterday Lincoln didn't watch tv in the morning because my Grandma was here, that afternoon I was exhausted so I turned on a show for him. After about ten minutes he got up, walked over to the tv, turned it off, and went to play in his room. I just stared in awe, I guess we're getting somewhere!

I was wondering! You are doing great though!!
You're a great mom. It's cool your doing something about it. I just say I'm a bad mom but I don't do anything about it. Next kid right?
