Big Helpers with Big Rewards!

Jace
I started the month off with earning my 10th straw and my surprise was picking out any box of cereal I wanted at the store. We spent 20 minutes in the aisle before deciding on captain crunch with berries. Mama said she didn't like that kind but daddy said he loved that cereal, so I waited until he got home the next day to have my first bowl of deliciousness! I shared with Bella too. We both are in swim again and doing well. We went up to Kenzi's birthday party and had lots of fun playing in the basement after cake and homemade ice cream. She got a really cool kayak for her birthday. We made a few St Patrick's day crafts at home and at the library. We spent a couple of days with papa and grandma while daddy worked and mama and miss Tami went to a concert up in Portland. Uncle took us to breakfast one morning and then to the wildlife safari. When we got home, daddy and Bella went to the father daughter dance and mama and I stayed home and had fish tacos and played games and read lots of books! I have been super helpful around the house and earning lots of straws. I earned a breakfast of my choice and I chose waffles with strawberries and whipped cream!

The straw incentive isn't working quite as well for me except that Jace does a lot of chores for me so he can get straws. He did share his captain crunch cereal with me and it was yummy. Swimming is going really well. One day I was floating on my back with my head on mama's shoulder and she was singing the abc's. I started screaming nooooo, really loud in mama's ear and she wondered what was going on, so I said "please stop singing, your breath is really stinky". I had fun at grandma and papa's and with uncle. As soon as we got home, mama got me all ready for the father daughter dance. She made me a dress, bought me new shoes, painted my fingernails and toenails and even curled my hair. I felt like a princess! Daddy took me out to dinner at Tap Rock and then we went to the dance. I enjoyed eating fruit and other snacks and playing with the balloons at the dance. Daddy and I also danced a bunch too. I started to get cranky and sleepy, so we went home for bedtime.
