Sweetie has been on a kick lately, to improve her behaviour. Her efforts have been consistent and have yielded great results so far! I can see the wheels turning when she gets frustrated and wants to stomp and scream or argue with hers sisters. Her manners are better, her patience is thicker and when we talked about it she said it was hard at first but after awhile she got used to it. She's been extra sweet and helpful and kind and cuddly. Frankly, it's been kindof awesome! Her biggest goal was to be "good enough" so that we'd let her have a sleepover. She had asked a few times and we just put it off. We haven't let them go anywhere for a sleepover yet so if they start having friends to our house,it's going to lead to being invited to their house at some point. We're not ready to let them go sleep with people we barely know! (insert freakish paranoia level here --->)
Finally we couldn't hold out any longer, she'd worked so hard and was going over the top! One night, while tucking her in, Murray said "oh let her have a sleepover already!" She was thrilled and started thinking about who to ask. In the end Boo was the honoured guest!
They played outside for awhile and then came in for hot chocolate and did some other indoor activities. Sweetie came to complain that her sisters who hadn't worked on any self improvement whatsoever, were hogging her sleepover! I put the other two to work on some chores and Sweetie & Boo went to play in her room instead. It didn't go over well but she had a point!
She says she's going to plan her next sleepover to be when her sisters have a hockey tournament away so she doesn't have to share her friend! Triplethood does have its downside!
