WOW... wow.

I woke up at 6:30 this morning finally letting my body agree with my head that its time to get up. So I got up and started cleaning things up a bit when I heard some laughing and talking in the girls room. It was still dark out and I thought, wow, what are they doing up? Their light in their room was off, and I just thought it pretty odd. I opened the door and VOILA... it was CLEAN! They were just putting their last toy away! Tori went to bed at 7:00 last night, so she got up early, thought it was still night time because it was dark out, and decided that she'd better get her room clean for the house fairy before morning, so she woke up Abbie, and they cleaned it all before 6:30 in the morning. Seriously, this works! Prior to this there isn't anything I could have done to or for Tori to get her to clean it by herself without asking, let alone "in the middle of the night" I'm just amazed. THANK YOU HOUSE FAIRY!!! www.housefairy.org

House Fairy

Sometimes I blog just to get the other blog entry further down in the list, I hate being reminded about the "caca" incident, so I'm putting this on because its a much more pleasant entry. My wonderful sister introduced us to the House Fairy.

Its done wonders for us, as it will for your family. I think its the cutest thing and Tori has responded so well. The house fairy is Santa Clause's sister and she comes when you least expect it to make sure your room is clean and bed is made, etc., and if it is, she leaves a surprise, and if its not, she only leaves her fairy dust so you know she came, and she also leaves a note. You can pretty much tell your child anything you want through the house fairy and they accept it and listen to it, like, "Next time you need to be nicer to your sister," or "make sure you don't leave your toys in the living room," or "Make sure to do your chores" or "have a better attitude tomorrow" and the kids really listen! I told Abbie she needed to help without complaining and let her sister teach her how to clean, and SHE DID! I'm just shocked. Anyway, check it out, its definitely worth trying. Its actually motivating me to clean my room too cause Tori keeps saying, "Mom, the house fairy didn't leave you a treat cause your room is dirty."
