When am I going to learn?

When am I going to learn that training young children to take care of themselves, take care of others and take care of the house is a huge task? See that check list the girls are using for their morning routine? Well, last night we had one for bedtime and the novelty was stupendous. Learning how to make a check mark, picking the marker, all this was fabulous. Then when the middle child realized that the fun was over and it was time to follow through. We were met with resistance.

Oh don't we love the 3 year old resistance. She is so smart. She gets us to dance every time. When am I going to learn that a little checklist won't work the first time? If it does work it is only a piece of paper. My middle child is way smarter than a piece of paper. Now how to show her that she is that smart? When I figure that out I will write about it!!!!

Parenting On Track is having another free web event next week: April 8th at 8pm on Timeline for Training!!! Yes Vicki will talk about our littles!!! Gotta love'em.
