We got sooo close to each other and really learned to clean up after ourselves, etc. It's actually one of the reasons why I decided to continue homeschooling after we were set up in our house- I didn't want to loose the feeling of closeness we had. One of the funniest memories I have of living in such small quarters with so many people is when all the kids had to go to the bathroom at the same time! It was stressful at the time, with everyone crying that they couldn't hold it in, but now it's a sweet memory. :) The tickets are a great idea!! Right now we are using charts from the teaching store, stickers, and money. They get .10 per sticker on their chart. But I really like the ticket idea too...A book that I'm really interested in getting is called Parenting a House United. It's about teaching kids self government. Anyway, thought I'd offer that up to you in case you wanted to look into it. :) I love your reason for loving small space living- It’s exactly how I felt when our family (6) lived in a one bedroom, 500 sq ft apartment!

We sowed carrot seeds in a huge pot on our patio on the first day of spring and they've been growing beautifully to my surprise! I can't wait for another month or so before we get to pull them up.

This post was forever long...there is so much to say because it's so important. You can still rock them and love on them! Just before they drift off put them in their beds + this advise is referring to a routine (which with an infant happens 10+ times a day)...they are inevitably going to fall asleep in your arms every once in a while :) ! You just don't want it to be a habit or stop them from learning an essential skill. Keep encouraging me. This post was forever long…there is so much to say because it’s so important.
