Yesterday was the first day of Ty's second year at preschool. Darren and I are trying to instill scripture, morals, responsibility, manners, respect, love, and kindness into his life. We began a "responsibility" chart which includes all of the above on it (except scripture - this is done throughout the day, at home, at school, at Church, and before bed). The first chore, yesterday, was to check the mail. This is a picture of Ty on his way back from the mailbox. It looks like he's having a hard time holding all of it in his hands :O) Out of a possibility of 10 stars yesterday, Ty received 8. He lacked in "teasing" his brother/sister all day. I am not even sure he does this on purpose, he just truly has no idea what being "gentle" is all about and if he's NOT gentle, we count that as teasing. He should have received 9/10 stars, but I reminded him that just because his "teasing" star was taken away for the day, didn't mean he could continue to tease, AND if he did, another star would automatically be removed for additional teasing.
His other chore: changing all the glade plug-ins throughout the house. What's it going to be today? Hmmmm, maybe the toilet bowls. LOL! Just kidding.

I am so blessed to have an adorable grandson like Ty. He is very energetic and excited about his journey here on earth. You can see his enthusiasm. He has parents that truly care about him and are sacrificing all they can to make him the child God created him to be. Twins are a double blessing especially with one being a female and the other a male. How interesting it will be to see the twins in school together, attending church together and being the same exact age but different genders. Ty will always be on the look out for his baby siblings. I believe Ty will set the tone for the responsibilities and the twins will follow. It is wise to start the young with chores etc. I am thankful that you and Darren are recording all this for future viewing. Love to all!! Mom
Awesome job, Kristin!
