Claire had just opened all the shutters in the room. Grace had been asleep until the sun hit her in the face.
Grace [groggy]: Claire, could you do me a favor, please?
Claire: Yeth.
Grace: Could you please shut all the windows? I'm still sleeping.
Claire: Yeth. [Claire shuts the shutters.]
Grace: Thank you.
Claire: 'elcome.
I was so impressed with Grace's civility after just having woken up.
Should I be less proud considering that two minutes later Claire reopened the shutters and Grace screamed bloody murder?
HAHA!! Oh, I giggle again. Heb and I got a kick out of this. What sweet girls you've got. No, you shouldn't be less proud. Little kids have the memory of like 2 minutes anyway so Claire did the best she could.
ReplyDeleteHey will you give Britt my email and ask to be invited to her blog. Nellyo521@aol.com :) thanks I can't find a recent email for her
ReplyDeletePerfection.
ReplyDeleteBottomline, I tell the 1st graders if you try one "solution", one "problem solving technique" and it doesn't work, switch tactics.
Grace switched tactics. She did what she had to do :)
This is kind of how I parent. I'm nice first -- always. And then I turn into the mean cop.
ReplyDeleteSounds like Christopher and I every morning (including the screaming bloody murder part...well, not really, usually it's me mumbling something in a half-dream stupor and Christopher rolling his eyes and walking out of the room. ;)
