Praise

Praise is good. Positive reinforcement when warranted is good. I need to do more of that and I reminded myself yesterday.

Me-"Nathan, you were such a good helper today! Thank you for helping Momma with the groceries this morning and walking nice and doing what I asked you to do! Thank you very much!"

Nathan-"My name is Jack."

Good try, Mama. Sometimes those good efforts seem to go right out the window, don't they? :)

Who's Jack?

Jack and Jake - those good buddies I've seen Nathan around the kitchen table with. I actually didn't see Jack and Jake but I saw Nathan speaking to them.

Nathan is just like my Benjamin - I constantly get told "My name is Steve" or "My name is Joe" - can you tell he watches Blue's Clues?

Hey, at least we try! ;)

Dylan was Ben10 for almost a year. He even signed it as his name on his artwork- Even worse, he told his Sunday School teacher that his name is Ben10 !!! She looked at me weird. Laura
