L.O.L

 

Every Monday night we have Family Night. It is a night where we gather as a family, and have a uplifting and spiritual lesson.
We try to make them fun for the kids and try to include some sort of game or fun concept to work on for the rest of the week or month.

This month we talked about relationships and the different kind of relationships there are;

courteous, affectionate and intimate.

We decide the boys are old enough now to be in charge of the lesson with some help from mom and dad.
Last night it was Bear's turn to have the lesson and Daddy helped him

The concept we are working on is Loving Out Loud. Bear cut out letters and we pinned them to the dinning room wall where we can always see them.

 

 

We played a game with the hearts and then added them to help us remember what LOL stands for

 

We brainstormed things we can be doing for each other that will show our love

 

Things like:
Letting Mommy sleep in

No hitting

Hugging

Helping with homework

 

No name calling

Helping Mommy clean the house

Listen and talk, but more listening

 

Be patient

Play with each other

Read to each other

 

It's something that we need to work on. The kids have been arguing a lot lately, for reasons still unknown, except for the fact that they're brother's and sometimes that's what they do. So it's been nice to have this up on the wall as a constant reminder that we need to constantly be finding ways to express our love for each other.
