We've been working with Nora on some basics of good behavior and cooperation. Here are some pictures from a chart that we put together for her. We got the great idea from some friends of ours. Each time Nora does one of these things well, she gets a sticker in that catagory. When she has ten in each row, Daddy takes her out for ice cream! Talk about sweet rewards... Nora's 'chores' in order include, getting dressed (actually, letting me dress her without waging a battle), eating a good dinner (with no tantrums), helping to put her toys away, and staying reverent during prayer. We'll update later on if it works!

Tantrums?!?
Wow. What a good girl!
This totally works. Bruce quickly does his chores (dresses himself, puts his dirty clothes away, helps put quarters in the washer, rolls up the vacuum cord, puts silverware away, puts toys away) when he is reminded that a full chore chart translates to a trip to Brigham's with daddy. We've gone through one chart and he's well on his second.
What a great idea!! but, I can't see Nora ever having a tantrum!! P.S. - I'm coming over soon so we can go for a walk with your new stroller! :)
