The topic of manners has been of big 'interest' since the other day I took away a donut D & L had when they chowed into it without a word of thanks. Told them they could have it back after dinner that night. Gave it to them after dinner - and not a word of thanks. So the donuts went in the bin.
Manners have since improved!!
Mum: Thanks for your manners this morning Laura.
L: Yeah, but Nick can't have manners.
M: We're all learning different things, like he's learning how to talk, and you guys are learning manners...
L: And what are you learning?
M: ummm... how to be parents.
L: (big laugh...)
Good fun.

Quick thinking sister! I often include in my prayers to help me to be a good teacher to my kids... once Erica came up to me all worried and gave me a hug - "You ARE a good teacher, mom!" Kids are the greatest teacher I have ever had...
