Star Wars: The Clone Wars

I am happy to report that the new behavior system is working great! Today was more representative of reality than yesterday, of course. However, all disagreements were resolved quickly and relatively easily. A gentle reminder that a certain course of action would take them backward on the trail was sufficient to stem the tide.

At this point, both children have made their first goals, which is the privilege of choosing a movie that they would like to see, whether in the theatres or on television. The Transformer is holding out for either Speed Racer or the new Transformers movie, which apparently isn't out yet. The Kitty Cat has decided on Wonder Woman, even though it is an episodic series. They will get to fulfill their wishes next week.

The next goal on their journey of obedience is 1-on-1 time with Dad. Looks like he's going to be busy!

In addition to this morning's lessons, we made a quick run to the library to return a bunch of books and videos and to borrow more. Then it was off to the YMCA for swim lessons, a quick trip home to drop off the wet gear and have a hurried dinner, then off to another library branch to watch Star Wars: The Clone Wars for their monthly family movie night. It was pretty good. The kids particularly like that they get popcorn and lemonade there. :)

The weather has turned from hot and windy to cold, rainy, and gloomy. As this forecast seems to go through at least tomorrow, possibly Friday, I'm looking forward to slowing down our activities somewhat. Tomorrow's agenda includes KinderGym in the afternoon. Friday has us at the YMCA for the Science and Nature class. We probably won't go to Park Day due to the weather, and I imagine that our volleyball game will be cancelled due to soggy sand.
