How is everyone? Are you all enjoying this wonderful time of year? I know I am.

Kody, Ellie and I  love to be outside and in the sun. Ellie is our little fishy. She would  stay in the pool all day everyday if  we would let her Kody and I wouldn’t have it any other way. We want her to grow up enjoying the outdoors.

With that being said, Ellie has recently found a new obsession, watching Frozen on the IPad. Kody and I never thought electronics would become a problem until this past week. All Ellie wanted to do was lay in the bed and watch Frozen. It was cute the first few days, then we realized it was starting to become habit.  Kody and I freaked a little haha don’t  judge, first time parents  remember;) So, we did a little Frozen detox lol. We all went to the store and bought  sidewalk chalk, a trike  and other items we could play with outside. We went two days with no movies or Ipads, then gradually brought Frozen back into her life. She now watches it in the morning when she wakes  up. I then try to have activities for her during the day to keep her busy. 

I know it’s silly but it really did catch Kody and I off guard. We didn’t realize how easy it was just to hand her the Ipad and have her watch Frozen for hours. Kody and I were able to get our work done and even keep the house clean, but we  both agreed that interacting with her is more important than anything. Kody and I also decided to set hours for us to use our electronics. We realized we were being poor examples by having our faces glued to our screens all day. Now we look at our phones while she is sleeping.
