Lauren has been working on a bedtime behavior chart (no arguing or whining or coming up with a million excuses at bed time). She finally earned her 12 stickers and got to pick her "big" prize. I told her she could have a sleepover, we could do a movie night, or something fun like that. But nope, she wanted a Justin Bieber shirt. We found one and we have one happy girl! She does look pretty cute (and grown up!) in it if I do say so myself. She's "dancing" in the bottom 2 pics:)
After she earned it I told her that this meant she now knows how to go to bed without arguing and we expect that from now on. She said, "But mom, if I start arguing again I guess we'll just have to start another chart." Oh that girl, she thinks she's so smart. But mama is smarter, I said, "Or we'll just have to start taking away things you love like your new pink Toms and your Justin Bieber shirt." She agreed she'd start going to bed without arguing. So far it's worked but it's only been 2 days...

Way to go, Miss Lauren. I love your new shirt and you look so proud wearing it. Do you think they have it in my size?
Is she 4 or 13?? She looks so grown up!
I like how she thinks. And hey, since she's practically in Driver's Ed now, she can borrow our car anytime. The Forrester.
