We Have a Winner!

Our first contestant to complete their mermaid chart was none other than our little Honey Bunny! She kept her eyes on the prize and never wavered. No matter what happened or how she was feeling, she managed to keep herself in check. During the very first week she had a couple slips that were quickly reined in and after that she told me she had learned how not to speak that way and that it was easy now.For doing such an excellent job and not missing a single day, we let her have her mermaid on the morning of the last day instead of making her wait til bedtime. She was sooooooo pleased! We even had time for a bath before church and I let her stay in the longest so she'd be able to get more playtime in. Her sisters were happy but also a little envious that her mermaid is out of the box. Hopefully this will motivate them to work a little harder on their charts.
Lovey seems to be a little more determined this week. I think she can now see the light at the end of the tunnel. She's up to #19 today and realizes she's more than halfway there. She has eaten her supper at least 4 nights in a row and isn't making a stink at dinner either (lately anyway!)

Sweetie has had many many slips and I'm cracking down. I've been letting her get away with too many warnings. She's missed a few days this week but did ok today so she's on #23. It will be interesting to see if Lovey passes her. They were both hoping Honey would blow it so they could pass her but there was no way she was going to do that!

Congratulations Honey, you did a great job on your challenge and you deserve your prize!!1
