What A Girl

At bedtime tonight I instructed Brynn & Tori to get their pajamas on & do all the things they need to do before bed, (brush teeth, say their prayers, etc) then to quietly get in their own beds & wait for me & I would come & tell them a story after putting Jadie to sleep. They know that when they are not obedient they do not get a story. SO...as I was putting Jadie to sleep I could hear that they had forgoten these instructions. When I went downstairs I found that they got the pajamas on & that was as far as they got, so I told them I was sad to say that they would not be able to have a story. As I tucked Brynn into bed she said, "I wish you would have said that a little nicer Mom, like this: "Oh, no stories tonight girls…just a song,” (in a sweet little high pitch voice.) Then she sang a little made up song that went like this… “dadada…self controoool, you need to have a little self controoool!” I busted up laughing at that girl! The other day she was asking all sorts of questions & one of them was, "what does self control mean?" I explained it as being calm, not getting all grumpy or freaked out even if you feel like it. You don't have to explain things more than once to that girl!
