When my kids came to live with me they didn't have much in the way of family tradition. They were surprised at how seriously we took our traditions. The fact that people would do the same thing over an over was totally foreign to them.
Today we spent the day doing one of our family traditions. Movie Marathon. We make fresh popcorn an spend the day comfy on the couch watching movies.
This is one example but an important one as the kids often speak about past days like this.
What are your family traditions?
Home is where your story begins. Welcome to my home. This blog is about a family formed through foster care adoption as we navigate parenting children with early childhood trauma, open adoption, and the child welfare system.

ReplyDeleteTT & Bart are allowed to turn on the TV at 7:00AM. I get up with the littler cherubs when they wake up (usually between 7 & 7:30). Everyone sits on the couch all in a row eating a bowl of dry sugar cereal (something that isn't allowed during the school week). I also give everyone a glass of juice or chocolate milk. The cherubs watch TV until I get off my lazy rear and make everyone get dressed (usually til 9:30 or so).
