I have to say, I do like Fridays. There's something about the anticipation of the weekend and Matt being around. It's really nice!
Today is a very uneventful day which I'm happy about. I did a load of laundry and filled up Maddy's wading pool for after she's up from her nap. She was such a cutie this morning when I did two workouts through my DVR in the living room. She did them with me and it's so cute to see her 'workout'. She'll jump and swing her arms in time with mine. Or she'll come to 'help' me by lifting my legs up and down using her hands. Or she'll sit on my stomach while I do ab work. It's funny and really cute. Of course, not very productive, but that's ok.
I have started to do a time-out thing with her when she throws food. She's gotten in the habit of throwing food when she's decided she's no longer going to eat what's on her plate. So I take everything off her highchair and roll her into the living room for two minutes while Matt and I continue to eat. I tell her 'no throwing food' while I take her there and 'no throwing food' before I bring her back. None the less, she doesn't get the food back. I try again later. If she's having a snack and not in the high chair I just take away whatever she's having, pick her up and put her on the couch and walk away. She may not stay there, but at least I've taken her out of the situation. Gotta love it when I have to do ABA, huh? What I really need to do is replace her behavior (throwing food) with a positive behavior ('All done!') and praise her for it. However, right now she doesn't even seem to understand that throwing food is bad. I do try to jump the gun on her and ask if she's finished when she's starting to not eat anymore. But sometimes it's quite a sudden change. Behavior modification was my specialty in school; we'll see if I can do it at home as well.
My week is insanely busy next week. I have something going on every day and often two or three things a day! (The days with three things though are mommy things so you know darn well I'm not going to miss the 'third' thing of the day--bunco night and coffee night).
I'm excited to say that I'm getting my hair cut on Sunday. I have an appointment all set up. My current style is driving me nuts since it didn't grow out very well. I can't decide what I want to do yet, but I'll need to figure it out soon!
Have a great weekend!
Tea of the day: Last of the suntea, made green chai suntea so we'll see how that is.
WO of the day: 30 minute cardio DVR, 30 minute weight DVR--so about 40 minutes without commercials.
