I came home tonight from meeting with a friend and was greeted with hugs and kisses and laughter from Audie and Corinne. My 2 baby girls were in the sweetest mood tonight. About an hour later, I started to pick up the toys in the basement while Matt gave Audie a bath. I came upstairs to find Corinne picking up her toys in the living room...without being asked!!!! I ran to her and told her how proud I was of her and thanked her for doing that. I really reiterated how sweet she had been this evening and I was thankful for her good attitude. Then it was her bathtime, and she hopped in the bath with no complaining or excuses. (much out of the norm). I wanted to reward her further for her good behavior...


me: "Corinne, you have been so good this evening. You can stay up past your bed time if you want to"
Corinne: "No thank you, I'm fine."

maybe I should leave more often!!?
