cause and effect of star charts

In order to curb the amount of assistance the girls need at night with going potty or covering themselves up we've devised a system of giving stars for every night they can take care of things on their own. When their star charts are complete they get a trip to the dollar store where they can pick out whatever they want. In short; we are bribing them, but the results have been fantastic. Rarely do they ask for anything and have really taken responsibility with taking care of things. So far Sophia has earned a nice snow globe while Anna picked up a cool stuffed cow and they both have microphones (thankfully no batteries required :).
After I took their picture today they each insisted on taking mine (we may need to work on Anna's cropping skills).

pajama la'no mama

There is a big game on tonight but the girls have made the big score of the day as they are now able to get their p.j.'s on for bed all on their own. Regardless of who wins the Super Bowl; we are all winners tonight.
