We had a rough week last week with Ells.
Fever for 4 days, no school all week, 3 days with grandparents (thank you!!) ... all this adds up to a girl that was whiny with a capital WHINE. Mostly just with me, of course, but it was/is maddening none the less.
My 'behavior modification' skills were seriously lacking ....
So, Monday begins - new week, new attitude?
At the end of the day, my mom asked me how the day went? It was surprisingly smooth - nothing special or different, but home all day. I did my thing and Ells did her thing, but we talked and spent time together and didn't run any errands or have to race anywhere (for the first time in 3 months)...
Oh - best behavior in 10+ days? I get it, thanks.
