Isn't it amazing how much we keep? Today I threw out two boxes that I had taken the toys out of ages ago - I have no idea why I was keeping them! Also, I got rid of a tennis racket that was broken and I only realised today when I had to pull a car out of its strings. :)
Asher got to spend the day just playing with his two friends, Piper and Soren, whilst my friend (their mum) Krystal and I made up charts for them (and us). The kids had fun and so did we. (We went nuts with a laminator) I made a nice shopping list and a fortnightly meal plan sheet for myself. I also made, for Asher, a routine chart with pictures so he starts to know the order of his day, also an activity chart that we can put pictures of what he does so that when his daddy comes home he can see what he's done that day. I also updated his potty training chart.

- the old one was a caterpillar)
As for being grateful, I am! I am totally grateful for the realisation of blessings. We are always being blessed, sometimes in big ways and sometimes in small but we don't always notice them. Lately I have been noticing the blessings which is just awesome! Today I got to see the sun behind a thick dust storm and it looked like a big round light globe in the sky and it was so beautiful. Also, the past two days my precious friend Mandy has been at my house in the afternoons and has, both days, cleaned up my kitchen for me! (Thanks again Mandy) I love that I belong to a God who is not only alive, but is active and has so many blessings for me each day and I love that I am able to see them!!!

Great charts! I have a mealplan chart too, but I was too lazy to make it myself, just paid way too much at kiki k. to let the clever designers make it for me. It is really cute...but maybe when I use all the pages up, I'll be inspired to make my own. :)
The charts for Asher are so great for language development too... and for mastering all those concepts of sequence, time, past and future tense...it's a really good tool. Another one of those things I was thinking of buying ready-made, which I might just re-think and make myself instead. I'll post a photo if/ when I do get around to making something. Thanks for sharing!
