Clare sure is a family phrase magnet. She is talking more and more and really picking up on what we are all talking about. About two years ago, to cut down on arguments, we came up with even and odd days. Lorien gets the even numbered days and Wyatt gets odd days. When ever there is a choice to be made (who gets the fish towel after a bath, who gets to choose the first TV show or story book) whose ever day it is gets first choice. About a thousand times a day I hear: "What day is it?" Today when I was making Clare's oatmeal and it was time to add the brown sugar she said: "Whaaa dayes-it?"
I was taken a back for a second before realizing what she wanted to know. "Oh, ummm its a even day." I said.
"OK, its uh even day. I go first!"
I'm not sure what she gets first today but I know we are going to have to come up with another system for fairness...any ideas?

I've heard one where everyone gets their own day a week. But that was a family of 6 or 7 (incl parents), so it worked out pretty well. Maybe you just give each kid 2 days a week. And then you ad Will split Sunday you and Will.
Look folks! That's what happens when you're fingers are too cold to edit your entry before you press "Enter"
Argh.
ooh, tough one! no ideas. in our house their was no such thing as fair. it was a dog-eat-dog world. If you whined about something, you got spanked. it was that simple.
