Heavy Metal Bling

Today Maddie was adorned with some pricey Bling.
She is now officially wearing braces for the next two years.
The top braces were put on the front teeth and molars and she
will have aprx. 4 teeth in between pulled,
Then the bottom braces will be put on in a month and
she will also have about 3 teeth pulled from the lower jaw.
Beauty comes at a high price!
It will be worth it when they are removed and she will
feel like a Million bucks!

Reward Day

On Monday we started a "rewards" program for Maverick.
He has had a problem with aggression, towards Finley.
This is playful aggression but non the less, after
tackling, spanking, wrestling and body slamming her
(we are putting the blame on Kung Fu Panda) we decided
we needed to intervene and so we made a Star Chart.
He made it thru the week, and our home life has been
a bit less ruff. Finley also had a star chart,
because whatever Maverick has she has to have.
So she also got a reward today.
Shawn took Maverick, and I took Finley. Before leaving
I asked Shawn to PLEASE keep it in perspective, this is
going to be costly if we do this every week.
He nodded and gave me the I know how to handle this look.
After our fun shopping, we regrouped at home and what
do I see....

I don't see a fairness in the rewards, its just a good
thing that Finley doesn't recognize that size makes a
difference, and when Shopping with Dad there is no limits.
