Do It Yourself Shelf

As the arrival of Baby Brody approaches, I have been working on ways to help
the kiddos become more independent...knowing that there will moments when I will not be able to help them right away.

A couple weeks ago we got closet organizers that I set outfits in for each day of the week on Sunday. Now AJ just gets up and dresses himself without being asked to or without needing any help...
I'm still working on Abby understanding that the organizer is not a bunk bed for all her dolls...and that she does in fact need to wear clothes when we are home...

This week I started "Do It Yourself Shelves"...
where they kiddos know they are allowed one snack out of the pantry a day...
and one snack out of the fridge a day...
So far we have done snack crackers, dried fruit, baby carrots, grapes, cheese sticks, yogurt drinks...things that are easy for the kids to get and open all by themselves.

It is great!
