I've been making a real effort to decrease the amount of screen time Audrey has during the day lately. It's all too easy to sit her down in front of a dvd for ten minutes while I get the tea on, hang up the laundry, clean out the animals. Involving Audrey in all of these tasks is possible, if I can just let go of my need to have everything done right now, my own way. And they present so many great development opportunities!
Audrey actually loves to cut and stir vegetables, to help me hang out laundry, even to scrub rabbit cages. She just wants to be involved. It's a great reminder to find the fun and the joy in more of my day-to-day tasks.
