Dalan is so funny with her and is always in her face saying, "hey honey girl!" in a high pitched voice! He loves Khlo Khlo. He actually tried to carry her to me on his own. I reacted with panic, and he answered with, "but mom, I'm strong." He also proceeded to tell me, "Mom, you are not the boss. Dad is." Hmmm...we'll just see about that! We had the talk that only a grown up can help you hold the baby and so the other day Dal said, "Mom, is Khloe breakable!?" I said YES...she is!! Hopefully this will keep his strong muscles in check without lifting the baby on his own.
Why is it that when I just try to get one good picture of BOTH kids, one of them is having an off day. I can usually always count on Dal to cheese at the camera, but he was not having it and Macie was feelin' the love. I thought this was a funny picture of Dal pushing his sister away. This is a true representation of how they treat each other. I hate to admit it, but just keepin' it real.
There are days when they are sweet to each other and play really well!!
To try and spread this love and work on how we treat each other, I just created this chore chart. At my parenting class last week, the lesson was on "Responsibility and Work." I loved this and got a little too caught up in the cuteness of the chore chart, but so far this week...the kids have been excited about it. They have wanted to do their chores so they could mark it off the chart and earn their Grantham Gold bars! I will bribe and make a cute chore chart any day if it gets them to pick up toys, make their bed, put dishes away, clothes, etc. I hope this works!!
All is well at our house. We are enjoying the change of seasons and gearing up for the holidays ahead!

We have the exact same things happen around here!
she is adorable. Sounds like things are going well!! You guys are so cute!
Love how your "keepin' it real"! Cute chore charts! It is STILL the only way I can keep the boys in check around here! They are tried and true! I have saved almost all the different chore charts from over the years and I've written on the backs of them what the boys earned once each one was filled. Kind of fun to look back.
That chore chart is sooo darn cute. I may just have add that to my project list! Can't wait to meet the newest little addition... and especially can't wait til she's big enough for co-op - I think I could handle holding her for a couple hours! :-)
This is awesome linds!!! I love how they are mommys lil helpers and dang you are organized, Can I take a lesson or two.. Can you make me a chore chart.. for me to do..lol
Khloe is such a doll - I wanna hold her!! And are you taking Carleen's class again?
How many "snacks" did you have to bribe Dalan with to pose for that picture? Macie and Khloe will someday be as close as you and Amber, but I hope Macie will know which end of a car bumper is involved when someone is driving on a freeway and hits something. hmmmm.....
