Do Your Kids Get Along With One Another?
We all know it is important that our children get along while living in close quarters for 18 years. Despite our best intentions, it can be difficult to encourage positive relationships between our children, espcially when they are whacking each other with light sabers! In our house, my son is quiet, reserved, and can play on his own for hours. My older daughter is VERY social. We determined she could not stop talking for more than 10 seconds and playing on her own is a punishment. When our kids have such different personalities, it can be hard to keep the peace and balance their individual needs!
Our topic at MOPS this Thursday is Social Science: Sibling Relationships. Our guest speaker is Kristi Smith, a mom of 4 children, aged junior high to college. She is also a former MOPS coordinator. We will be covering the importance of fostering healthy sibling relationships. We hope you will be able to make it!
Our MOPS Portrait Fundraiser is March 26th & 27th and April 2nd. Carrie will be at the MOPS meeting ready to schedule your appointment for a 15 minute mini session with Wendy Westcamp! You can just have the kids pictures done or the whole family. The cost is $20.00 and you receive a free 8x10! Wendy has affordable portrait packages available with a CD option, too! Appointments fill up fast so check your calendar before Thursday to know which dates work best.
Just a reminder, if it is snowing in Sonora, MOPS is canceled. Please don't venture out if you are uncomfortable with the weather, no matter how stir crazy you or your kids are!
Upcoming Dates:
March 7th - Soup Exchange, details to be announced
March 10 - MOPS- Three Ring Circus - No lions or tigers though:)
March 24 - MOPS - Kindergarten readiness and other topics on how your children find their place in the grandscape!
