Some more great one-liners:
One nation, under God, congratulations to all.
I wanna watch "Humfalump Hears a Who!"
On another note, per her teacher's suggestion, Victoria and I are trying out a different system of rewards and punishments. This has come about for a variety of reasons. Her two favorite things are her new bike and school. The bike's already been taken away for a week, and if we kept her from school, we feel like we'd be sending the wrong message (tho she LOVES it). As Miss Michelle put it, "That's what you have to deal with when you have a child with the mind of an 8-year-old and the emotions of a not-even-4 year old."
The new system? Good Behavior Tickets. I created tickets (simply 8-per-page layout), cut them apart, and explained them to V. For every good thing she does (doing something after I ask ONLY ONCE, eating all her food, helping around the house), she earns a ticket. When she gets in trouble, a ticket gets taken away. Ticket may be redeemed for a bike ride, a cartoon, or a treat. Day 1 went pretty well, and she told me as she was getting ready for bed that she wants to get 5 tickets tomorrow - setting goals!

I think she deserves a ticket for that SMILE!! Just remember all the stuff that is bursting out of her brain when she challanges you! You are doing a GREAT job!!
That is such a good pic of you and V. Good job Mom for rewarding her good behavior and her setting those goals. Keep up the good work V. Love and hugs, Busha
