Charlie Smiles!!

and he looks a lot like Jack:

The words to the song Jack is singing in this picture are:

"Your name is Charlie,
you wish your name was Jack...."

Also, I've started doing marble jars
and I've learned that my kids are suckers for positive reinforcement.
Jack especially would do just about anything for a marble---even take a nap!

Today marks a full week of daily naps for him,
that means a week of naps for me too.

Thank you marble jars.

Yeah Jack and Charlie definitely have similarities, especially around the mouth! I like the pic of Jack and Charlie; it made me laugh. Charlie's expression is especially great... it's like "yeah whatever I think I'll stick with my own name thank you very much" or at least that's how I interpreted his expression. Marble jars! Great idea! They do that in primary for saying their prayers each week, but I never thought to do it at home.

Charlie does look quite a bit like Jack - I really think that your children look so much like you! Ansley is definitely ALL Kurt, but Maizy is more me...I've heard about marble jars/popsicle sticks for positive reinforcement, glad that is working. And yeah, for naps - I really believe that is the only way moms stay sane...

Brielle--you amaze me. I want to be like you when I grow up. You are always doing awesome activities with your kids and coming up with new ways to challenge yourself. You are great!! Way cute baby.

I like that idea because it's not candy. There are kids I know that think they should get a treat for everything good they do because thats how they have been reinforced. Not that candy here or there is bad but the marble thing is fantastic!
