Anyone that knows Dylan knows that he LOVES to play video games. From the age of probably 1 he would sit with his dad on the couch and just hold a controller while his dad was playing. Then he of course graduated to playing himself. He has tons of games and on most days would come home from school, do homework, eat a snack and then disappear to play his games.
Well, Dylan has had a goal the past two weeks that he would not play his video games at all. As of tomorrow he will have met his goal. He made his goal all by himself, and stuck to it all by himself. I never once had to remind him of his goal. I don't even know why he made the goal, but he did and he followed through.
What a lesson for me. I have made countless goals, countless times and have failed to follow through. Seeing Dylan set and accomplish his goal has shown me that if my eight year old can do it, so can I. Thanks Dylan for teaching your mom a little something...I am sure it won't be the last time;)

He is an amazing kid. It is great to have that skill at age 8.

That is amazing that it was his own idea to begin with. JT is also a video game junky, and I'd fall lover if he ever came up with that.
