So after I made our daily rhythm chart I thought it might be helpful to make these. These are the nightly tasks that I find I have to remind my Michael to do over and over again. The evening is not my favorite time. I'm usually tired and ready for little boys to go to sleep and my time to begin. So now I can just point to the signs and he remembers his task. Or I say go do everything on your chart and he runs to check it. He loves the drawings and finds it fun to complete the tasks now. I have to say I neglected to draw a "put pajamas on" sign. I guess I thought it was obvious, but no, I find I too often have to remind him. So I'll be adding that.
This has helped us so much in the evenings that now I plan to make a set for our morning chores as well.
Until next time...

ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful idea! I used to have a big poster of a thermometer with a corresponding drawing of different jackets to wear at the various temperatures. My girls would run onto the screened-in porch and look at the 'real' one, then compare, and I didn't have to answer that daily question! :)
ReplyDeleteI love it! What a sweet little picture chart of nightly chores before bed. :)
