Make Good Choices


Viana hanging out with Mommy

Oliver played race cars all day long

Korey was having fun reaching out and touching Viana

Sunset at Aunt Ali's and Uncle Kelly's House

Oliver was really cute hanging out with family- he is staring
at Larry in this picture. In the car he was asking about Larry's beard...

Oliver had a fantastic day and made really great choices. Mommy has been using this phrase with him for a while now. When he is misbehaving, won’t put his “regular” clothes on, asking “why” a lot, or just doing something that is kind of annoying- Mommy will ask him if he is making good choices. Oliver knows what it means- and it helps because his Grandmas, Aunts, and even Uncles are asking him the same question. It is positive discipline in action and Mommy is starting to see it work for Oliver. (Sometimes people kind of get frustrated because Mommy isn't a little bit stricter- but Mommy is going to make a good choice and continue to use this method because her little thinker is starting to understand the concept.)


Today he asked Viana to make a good choice when Mommy asked her to put her sippy cup on the table. Oliver also said today that he was making a good choice because he “decided to share” his cars with Viana. It was a sweet moment for Mommy and for Viana! Today was really nice and full of good choices.
