Lesson Learned

A few weeks ago we took the girls to the video store to each pick out a video. All went well until we got home and they had a huge fight over who got to watch their movie first. Josh and I didn't let either girl watch their movie due to their behavior and they got a good talking to about how they were both being selfish and behaving inappropriately.

Fast forward to this past Friday night... we took the girls to the movie store to pick out movies again. As they got in the car after picking out movies, the conversation started moving towards who got to watch first when we got home. All of a sudden Makenna stopped mid-sentence and says "Maryn, you can watch your movie first since that's the nice thing to do." Josh and I just looked at each other bewildered. She only had to be punished for her selfish behavior once and she corrected it the next time around without being reminded. We are so proud that she learned her lesson so quickly.
