G and M are having a great time holding B. It turns out my kids thrive on routine. Their daily computer time, practice, scripture and prayer awesome. Add daily time holding B and it's working out great. They are so good at accepting mom and dad's arbitrary rules. I think that will be an important life skill.
Tonight I tried to go to the store and use coupons with 4 kids. It was hard. But when corn dogs are on sale and you've got a coupon, the kids are willing to behave pretty good. B was freaking out at the back of the store and I was so close to walking out. But M had a bag of cheese that she'd been wanting and had even chipped in her hard earned dollar toward buying. So we found and empty aisle and waited it out. I let my kids get a cookie or a balloon, and P always wants a balloon. But then, faced with the reality of M getting a cookie, P chose cookie too.
Once upon a time B's eyes were blue.
