If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Right? Well, what if a little tweaking is in order?
Something new that we have decided to throw into the mix of "raising Shawn" is a new reward system for good behavior. For him, having something visual to remind him of his good work... and that there is a reward at the end, just might be something that can help us through the remainder of the "trying threes." Also, this was my hidden way of having something positive for Daddy & Shawn to work on as well... so this never ending pissing contest can end! One can hope.

Having all boys is truly a fantastic experience. There is always something to do, something to break, and noise to be made!
