Homemade Lunchable Practice 1

I did purchase the lunchboxes for the kids next year.  They were very excited to learn they'd have the ability to build their own homemade lunchable every day.  We use plates that have a similar design for food separation for our practice meals.  The other day we had this: PB&J stars, grapes, cucumbers with ranch dressing, and wheat thins.



They loved it!  Success!  And now I am only even more motivated to get more practice in.  School resumes in 4 weeks.  More posts to come!!

Getting Kids to Exercise!

Tip 1: Challenge them to a dual.  If you say "Hey Johnny! I bet you can't do more pushups than I can." If you can't do any pushups, learn. Or you can try jumping jacks. Compliment your child on his/her effort no matter what the outcome. Building kids' self confidence is important! If they feel uncomfortable exercising now they'll likely have the same attitude in the future.
