Ajusting to the new baby

Bringing a New baby home always requires adjusting to,
In our house the one adjusting the most is our 1 year old.
To help her adjust we have allowed her to help with diaper changing and feeding the baby.she enjoys this for a short time then wants away from the baby.Giving her time with the baby helps her adjust to the baby being a part of her life.I also feel it makes her feel special seeing as mommy does these things and now she does to.
I've made sure to have just her and me time while the baby rest,we cuddle and play like old times so she doesn't feel left out from these daily event we've shared.

She doesn't like the baby using her blankets that's for sure lol no pass me down blankets in this house,she will say "mama mama "
over and over until she receives the blanket back.So new blankets were purchased and she seems happy with this.

Baby's skin needing extra moisture I've been putting baby lotion on her and now my one year old as well,she doesn't want to left out of anything the baby has and i don't mind accommodating to this.Along with needing her bottle at the same time or changing her clothes when baby is changed.It's a lot of work getting both done at the same time but if it helps her then it's worth it.

Updated reward chart

I updated our reward chart and rewards.its going great so far and the kids are adjusting to the new ways of earning Xbox ,computer and tv time.i felt we were using these devices way to much for nothing.now we need complete task and earn points for time on these.

Some might think this is mean but I feel kids are over doing usage and not using there brains or physical activities enough,so I've changed that in my house

Family Day fun

My husband works a lot so when he has time off we try to have a day just for us to spend time and have fun.We have desert dinner and supper lunch lol a fun idea I learned threw a parenting magazine. 

( kids love it) We go to the local park or play family sports.

 ( hockey is a big fab in our house )

Quality time is very important and we make the best of our time off from work and life's not so fun events.
