We have a sticker reward chart and in order to get a sticker for the jobs the kids complete they must do their chores with a happy heart the 1st time they are asked.
This morning Brian wasn't exactly happy to be doing his silverware and asked in not so kind words why we had to do dishes EVERYDAY?! He is only 4 so I just mentioned again that in order to eat we have to have clean dishes and as a family we all help each other. After he finished putting away the silverware I praised him on a job well done and reminded him to get a sticker. But there he stood and said, "But I complained, so I don't get a sticker." Wow. Thank you Lord for a glimpse of hope that they are learning!
He did get 2 stickers for his honesty.
Just a woman in it for the long haul of marriage, gaining humility thru this parenting gig and slinging hope and humor to those around me.
