The other night Maddie & Gracie were in the tub - I thought Mike was upstairs with them (but he wasn't) when they came downstairs wrapped in their towels - Maddie said to me "mom, you should go see what Gracie did".....well there were stuffed animals piled high in the bathtub soaking wet!!!!! oh I think I about lost it - when I put Maddie down for bed, we were talking and I told her that she needed to listen to that little voice in your head that tells you when things aren't right and too make better choices.........all of a sudden she began to cry "But Mom - my little voice didn't say anything to me".
Then the other day - Gracie and I were having a power struggle - you see Hannah (our cute little dog) has chewed Gracie's shoes to shreds so her slippers were laying on the floor - I asked Gracie to please pick them up and put them in the "shoe room" she said NO and I wasn't going to play that game with her so I thought I would get her by saying "OK, let's just throw them away" - to my surprise she said "OK, let's throw them away"...... I think she always wins the power struggles.
