Ben:

Today Ben cleaned his room without getting any spankings. (Yes. It's that exciting.) I come in to see, and I'm giving him lots of congratulations.

He runs out of the room yelling "Yay Ben!", goes straight to the snack drawer and stuffs a cookie down his throat before I can even catch up with him! "Woo hoo!" says he.

. . . .But the cookie reward isn't just for him. He gave one to Sara for pooping in the toilet the other day. Which she's been doing for a good 2 1/2 years now. Now if only he could do that! That would be an exciting day.
