Obedience

DADDY:

You've been struggling a lot lately to listen the first time. Mommy's been really consistent lately, and you've been earning lots of timeouts. You totally know what you're doing too, and when you finish your timeouts, you explain to us exactly what happened and what you should do better next time.

A couple weeks ago, we bought the Disney movie TANGLED and set up a cool system for you to earn the movie. Every time you obeyed one of the categories on our list, you got to remove a lock of hair from Rapunzel's hair, and when the hair was all gone, you earned the movie -- 40 pieces in all.

Things from the list:

* Stay at the dinner table the whole meal
* Clear your dinner table
* While going potty, wipe, flush, wash your hands, and all that jazz
* Obey Mommy and Daddy the first time
* Keep your shoes on in the car
* Put away toys before moving on to next toy station

It took you a lot longer than we thought it would -- about 2 weeks -- but you did it and you earned it and you're learning about obedience and your heart and that God loves us even when we don't obey but he's happier when we do.
