Sara & Louise & MamaMansa -- those are awesome examples!!! So encouraging.

I don't know if this is an ETLDTD success but it was a success for our house. DD1 & I were in the thick of a battle of wills. She has been using a voice that is either very disrespectful or mean with all of us. I've been trying to encourage her to try again and modeling tone for her. This morning she wouldn't stop and kept arguing wtih me. I finally told her she needed to work with me or go to her room until she could listen to me. She ran away & refused. At one point we were glaring across the house at each other. She started to smirk and I realized I could laugh and maybe move us forward, or keep trying to chase her. I laughed. She relaxed and came to me. We were able to talk and work out that we would both work on our tone. It was a good thing.
