A Success Story
I’ve been meaning to blog about this sooner, this happened a few weeks ago, on a morning with temperatures in the 50’s, but with a forecast of 80’s for that afternoon.
GlitterGirl asked if she could wear a short outfit, I said it was too cold out for that right now. She turned the weather on and watched it, then came to me with a proposal. The proposal was to wear a pair of loose yoga pants over the top of the shorts, and then to take them off after lunch. I had her try the outfit on to see how it looked, and it looked fine. I agreed it was a good plan and then I told her I was proud of her for talking to me about it.
Of course, the yoga pants got left at school in her locker and it took a while for them to make it home, but that’s a whole ‘nother issue.
The point is, she has learned that she can talk to me about things and not just sneak and do something she’s been told not to do.

I am guessing whatever the consequense you ended up with it worked. Very cool.

The consequences were that the outfit went away forever, and she didn’t get to see the Hannah Montana movie while it was in theaters, she’ll get to see it when it comes out on DVD.
But, after she did this I bought her the book of the movie, so now she knows what happened in the movie. Which, she kind of did anyway since her friends told her, but the book gives it all in linear form and I don’t think her friends telling of the movie was exactly chronological.
