Their Own Tablet

After much consideration, Nate and I decided to purchase a refurnished tablet for the kids as a Christmas gift.  We were hesitant at first, but it has defiantly been worth it.  We have many rules with it, and thankfully the children obey them very well.  Giving them their own has resulted in them leaving our stuff alone.  I put on apps that are only appropriate and educational.  They also are only allowed to use it once a day, right during nap time.  For instance, when I am putting Ian down, Kallen uses it; when putting Kallen down, Caleb uses it; and then Elyse plays with it when putting Caleb down if she is home.  This results in rare fighting and no loud chaos when I am peacefully putting siblings down for naps.  In fact, most of the time I catch the two, or even all three playing really nice together with it, like today.
