• Mar. 12, 2008 - Sometimes they just get it.

Posted in Family Life

It has been a frustrating couple of weeks with my daughters. I will be so glad to get into a house where we are all on the same level and I don't have to worry about packing things upstairs while they make a huge mess downstairs. lol

But that is another story. This is about something that happened Saturday. My oldest daughter got up and got herself dressed and got her sister dressed. Ever the girly girl of course Lilly dressed her and her sister in dresses. When they walked in our bedroom where hubby and I were talking about what we had to do for the day I saw just one little problem with their attire. Olivia my youngest was wearing her sisters dress. It was much to big for her. So I told Lilly what a nice job she did getting herself and Olivia dressed and then I said "but the dress you put on Olivia is your dress". To which she replied(this is the good part) " Mommy that can't be my dress anymore because it doesn't fit me. It doesn't go to my knees."

WOOHOO she gets it. Now at 5 she is already getting the idea about modesty. My hope is that if we lay the rules down now when they are little by the time they are teens it will be a habbit and we won't have to argue about it. I was just so thrilled with her comment and how she put it into practice.

I just had to comment on your latest posting. It's nice to see that once in a while our children actually do listen to us. :)
