Moments ago ... in our very own living room ... Emily had a break through.
A major one at that.
Some may even call it HUGE.
Ready?
Me: Emily, please come in here and pick up these Jenga blocks.
Emily: Okay Mom!
She hops down from her chair where she is coloring at the kitchen table and begins gathering blocks. I, on the other had, think I had a mild stroke because she's never responded quite that quick.
Me: Wow Emily, I'm so proud of you. That is what I expect from you when I ask you to do something. That is great.
Emily: Yeah, well, I wanted to be really nice today because I'm sick of hearing you yell.
And people out there say screaming at your kids doesn't work.
Guess I showed them, huh?
