52 week program

I have been doing a small thing each week to attempt to improve myself (such as drink enough water, read a certain amount, cut something out of my diet, etc.). The thought is that if you can make it a habit within that week and then build on the previous habits, you will have improved yourself in 52 small ways by the end of the year... leading to some major overall improvements. I've decided to also take this approach to my relationship with my children. Starting this week, I'm going to be adding one thing a week I can do better to enhance my children's well being ... whether it be in my relationship with them, their health, their social life, etc.

This first week, I'm going to start with something that many of you may say 'duh'. It will be brushing my 2 yr old's teeth before he goes to bed. I'm the one that almost always goes up to bed with our toddler and reads to him before putting him to bed. We are usually pretty good about brushing his teeth during the day, but I want to make a habit of doing it every night before we lay down to read.

Week #1 Starting tonight, I will make it a habit to begin brushing my toddler's teeth right before he goes to bed!
