Keep Up The Brainwashing

You know you're making an impression when you walk into the two year old's bedroom with her and she starts bawling because her bed isn't made.

Our teenage birthrate might not be 75%, our divorce rate might even be below 96% if this concept was taught from birth. I just hope she doesn't expect you to make her bed;)

And that doesn't mean that they then can't know how to be a little child and have a good time playing and romping around crazy. I firmly believe you teach them the best of both worlds, that is what we are doing with our kids :) !!

I am not a stickler about beds being made at our house (at all!), I've just taught her to keep things neat and somehow it rubbed off on her to keep her bed made.

I thought mine was the only one who did this.
