A Silver Lining's Got a Touch of Gray


When we decided to finally finish with our project of painting the kitchen, Aiden was so enthused he just had to help. In true Ty Pennington style, he grabbed a roller and got to work helping my primer the walls.

We painted them a nice red color which really changed the look of the room. Previously it had two types of wallpaper.

Recent parenting thought: This is no more original than it is profound, but for correction to be effective, it simply must be consistent. Any of us can think back and identify some parents who are struggling to keep their children from going ape-like. And we can also remember parents like that who only bother discilpining their children when they got angry.

It doesn't work folks. You've got to do it when it's wrong. Regardless of whether you may think it's funny, infuriating, or whatever. Consistency is key.
