An accidental stroke of genius.
I just have to share this because it is SO brilliant that every mother of small people should know about it.
I bought a pedometer, a cheap one, that was actually too cheap....so I bought a better one. Isaac saw the not so good one, he wanted it. H had a 'free with walkers chips' one and Seth wanted it. MIRACULOUS!! They will do anything ANYTHING we ask. Getting dressed is amazing..." how many steps to grab your socks? Quick go and get your school shoes, how many steps will that be? How many steps if you go and fetch your book bag for school, how many steps to your classroom?" Seth took nearly 11.000 steps at school yesterday, Isaac? Who knows, he keeps pushing the reset button- but it has been FANTASTIC!! Seth didn't even whimper about going to school yesterday as he couldn't wait to see what number he would be on when we got there! Isaac is Mr fetch and carry, all we need to say is " how many steps if you run and get....." and he's OFF! His first words this morning were " how many steos I take downstairs?"
Buy one at the dollar store.....it's a dream. I hope they don't get bored too quickly. I am in heaven.
By the way, it is 3,441 steps to school and back.
