First Days of School

Well, we are on our third day of school here in Louisiana and I have to say my children are surprising me! They have gone to bed every night, gotten up every morning on time, (even eaten breakfast which they don't usually do) and done their homework. I thought this would happen the first day, but by the third day, I thought for sure there would be many tears.....still waiting. I have seen such a transformation this summer of them. They have started helping with chores, picking up their things, just outright being agreeable. Was it a change in my attitude? A change in theirs? Maybe both. I do realize that they are getting older and for now I will sit back and enjoy the good and happy! :)
