Robin and I took off for a one day visit with friends. We left Peter & Gaelle in the capable hands of our 3 older children... but mainly Emily. Apparently the day started off with a string of "No's" from one strong willed girl. So Emily pulled out the big guns and made a fun list. Emily and Gaelle brainstormed what activities would make a FUN DAY. Then Emily made the list. Every time they completed an activity, they would check it off. If Gaelle was the least bit hesitant to obey her big sister, all Emily had to do was say, "If you won't listen to me, we won't be able to do the fun list." Magic. Gaelle was totally compliant. A successful day.
This past Saturday Robin came across 3 doll heads with long hair for Gaelle at a yard sale. Score! Gaelle is the queen of braiding and so now she has 3 more dolls to conquer. We put 2 of the doll heads away until she totally destroys the first one. Way to go Robin!
