Mabel: She is so independent and loves to do things on her own. Rather than oppose her character, I try my best to appreciate it. Our house is quite kid-friendly already but I recently did a re-haul on the kitchen. I stocked the bottom shelf of the fridge full of healthy accessible snacks and moved the kid-friendly utensils where she can reach them. When she is hungry she gets her own food, no questions asked! I completely stay out of it. She cleans up after herself and will even get Gus something if he asks. I love to see her confidence grow. A little bit of freedom for kids goes a long way.
Gus: We stopped at the train depot in Flagstaff and watched the trains go by. He was very serious about the whole thing. He loved explaining to us what type of trains we saw and what they could be carrying. He's one awesome kid.
