Fine Parenting

I had training today at another campus that ended early so I picked Bay up from school e-a-r-l-y! The way to that girl's heart is an early dismissal...when she was in Kindergarten she would ask me almost every day, "mom, are you going to get me for early dis-mi- thal today?"

Anyway, we were on our way to Hulen Mall for some Easter Egg-stravaganza (really just a dress) and found a little more than that...if you know what I mean! It was an awesome afternoon with my girl.

We met up with the boys just before church and Baylee wanted to show Matt her new stuff...she's done it as long as I can remember...models every new piece! Before she started across the catwalk she came into the kitchen where I was making-tasting a sandwich and asked this question...

"Mom, should I tell Dad how much we spent?"

Without thought, hesitation, contemplation, or processing, my mouth which was full of sandwich said...

"Absolutely not! And do not mention the two free tote bags we earned from our purchase either!"

I'm not sure what I taught her tonite, but, at least we paid with cash...no credit cards so that's progress! Baby steps, right?

Totally awesome! Plus, I think Dave says we only have to discuss purchases with our spouse that are over $300 :)

I told Laine the other day that we don't have to tell Daddy how much we spend on clothes or hair cut/color. I'm starting her young...
