Spending time with Nutmeg has been so much fun lately. Her behavior has been pretty good, she's still saying my favorite word in her vocabulary (o.k.). We wrote a list of house rules on a chalk board and instituted a system of smiley and frowny faces for good and bad behavior. Maybe it's just the novelty, or maybe because she knows she needs 3 smileys at the end of the day to get dessert, but so far the threat of a frowny face has been much more effective than the threat of a time-out.
As always, she's still saying the darndest things:
To the 9- and 11-year-old boys on the trampoline next door: "Be gentle with each other!"
While attaching one of the toys on Fil's baby gym but keeping it out of the baby's reach: "This is for display only."
We’re not going anywhere.

Nut says the cutest things! I like your behavior chart - I use stuff like that all the time at school. Some older teachers don't believe in "bribery", but I'm sure not above using it. :-P
