The Harr Family: Fun at the park

Fun at the park

We had our first trip to the park this year last Saturday. The reason for this trip was to reward Kennedy for getting 3 stars. We started the sticker chart as an incentive for Kennedy's good behavior at preschool. Kennedy chose 3 different colors of cardstock and I drew (or tried) large stars and Kennedy cut them out herself. Since Kennedy goes to preschool 3 days a week, she gets to put a star up if she gets a good report from the teacher when I pick her up. But, if she has been in time out or has had a card pulled that day, she either has to take a star that's already there away or if there is not one, she doesn't get to put one up. After she gets 3, she gets to pick from a few choices we have given her as a reward. The park is one of them and seems to be a favorite! This has really been effective for Kennedy and her behavior at school. We had a rocky start, but she has been doing great ever since we implemented the sticker chart around Thanksgiving. We are so proud of her and all of us get to enjoy the reward!!

Kennedy, 6, is our perfect combination of a tomboy and princess. She is full of life, energetic, strong willed, independent, dramatic, entertaining, artistic, funny, and loves to perform. She is a care taker, big helper, and a great big sister. She is our little environmentalist, has a heart for Jesus, is very tender hearted and wants to make a difference where one is needed. She is the answer to our prayers and the spice of our family.

Jackson, 3, is our very kind, sweet and thoughtful little boy. He is an encourager which is just one of the things that make him such an amazing son and brother. And, he is all boy. He loves cars, trains, dinosaurs, and animals. He loves to jump, be outside, play at the park, and take baths. He is very much like his daddy in looks and personality. He is Jackson, Jack or Jack Jack to us- our little miracle and a breathe of fresh air and a joy to our family.

Chandler Grace, 2, is our very petite, feminine and mischievous little girl. She is the busiest of the 3. Always exploring, climbing onto or getting into everything. She constantly keeps us on our toes. She is "Baby" to her big sister and little brother and tries her very best to keep up with them. She is sweet and full of spunk. Another miracle, and the perfect addition to our family.
