What are you writing thank you notes for?

All the Christmas presents we got!!! Our families spoiled the heck out of us.

Kevin posted our thank you note last week...remember, all of us in our pjs, me wearing no make-up and glasses. I'm a little mortified. I thought that picture was just for us.

That's nice of you. I've never written thank you notes for Christmas presents. I feel like such a slacker!

Does anyone else have this problem....a child that cannot play by themselves, or use their imagination and play with toys? I love my son dearly but sometimes it drives me nuts that he has to constanly be entertained. If it isn't a video or computer game, it doesn't get played with. He just had a birthday, plus Christmas, and got power ranger figures and cars and stuff, and they sit there. It's always "mommy can we do this or mommy can we do that". I don't know if it is a first-born thing (always had my attention) or a boy thing, a combo, or not related at all. Does anyone have any suggestions?

That's one of the big adavantages of having triplets! Instant playmates!

Amy, I thought that was a great picture. You will cherish it.

When Christopher tells me he's bored and doesn't take any of the suggestions I give him, I offer to let him help me clean . Works every time!

that's a GREAT idea!

miss missy--i love the picture from the tower!!

Thanks!

Sorry, Nancy. Kate's good at that. I had LSU cheerleaders as my children suddenly one day... although I thought both of yours were cute!

Oh, Denise..... How'd we let that milestone go without anyone even noticing it was coming?!

 

[triplefigs]

so when you send a PM - you can choose to have the pm confirmed - then when it is read - you can tell if the person got it or not

after you read a pm it shows to them as confirmed

you can - after reading a PM - go back in and change it to unread - you do this by clicking on the box you would use to delete and then scrolling to the bottom where the delete option is - one of the options is mark as unread - then your pm box acts like you have never read it - and your little message box at the top says you have 1 new message even though you have read it

but this does not change the status of your pm to the original sender -

when dawn sent me the pm last night - i read it and changed it to unread - but to her it still showed that I had read it -

so you can change it in your message but not in the original senders mailbox - it is like a quote - you can change your original message but once you have been quoted - you can't change their message

does that make sense?!?!? so if someone said the pm had not been read - that means their confirmation status is unread -

so I guess the question you and Dawn are asking - is how can you change the confirmed status not the read status - I am stumped on this one!!!!!

Can you do that? That would be great. You could ALWAYS be in stealth mode then.

Maybe try to do things that will promote him to play on his own. Such as gather up a bag of items set at timer for 10 to 20 minutes when the timer goes off he is able to show you what he came up with. You could do a bag where he has to build something-blocks, cars legos, duplos, play dough, deck of cards, etc, one where he has to make a short skit-clothing itmes from various family members,various toys, random kitchen supplies, etc one where he has to do something with Alyssa- this could have dolls, blocks, crayons, markers, basically anything would work., one he has to make something for someone else-such as a card, bookmark, etc -in this include glue, markers, crayons, scissors, maybe old magazines. Another one he could draw his favorite things include paper, crayons, markers, etc.

Set up rules and write them on a notecard or paper for him. Example: Your mission is to make something for someone else, you may make anything with the included supplies. You may only use the supplies included in this bag. The timer will be set for 10 minutes, when the bell rings you may share what you have created. Before the mission begins you may have 1 minute to ask questions. Once the timer has started you may not ask anymore questions, you must work quietly until the bell rings.

Happy creating. Let the mission begin.

I would start with a short task and slowly increas the time by 5 minutes. This way you will slowly gain time where he plays on his own. I know at first you must help to stimulate the play, but hopefully it will lead to him creating things on his own, so that he can play with his toys for hours, without calling Mom every few minutes.

Thanks for your compliments, that's really sweet of all of you!

Dawn, you're not a slacker. My mother is very obsessive-compulsive (not that that's a bad thing ), so I've been writing thank you notes for Christmas and birthdays (and our wedding and all those showers) since I can remember. And look, I'm already talking about Alyssa helping, so she's doomed too.
