I just had to call and tell you of a humongous success! It’s just amazing! This last weekend, we managed to switch rooms and put the girls in the big room and us in the smaller room, and it’s been phenomenal! Today when we got home, I hear Ann (age 9) saying to Elaine (age 6): ‘Now Elaine, remember….’ I hadn’t even told them anything of this. They just have such pride in their rooms that even Ann is not letting Elaine leave anything on the floor. And, get this? Last night before going to bed, Elaine calls me to her room and (just like a parent) stands there, not saying a word, and points down to the floor where I had left my shoes outside my closet! Acting very contrite, I put them away. Then she says, ‘Now the room is all clean!’ She was so proud that there was nothing else on the floor of their room! I was just flabbergasted! These systems are holding up and the living room is contagious and has been a beacon because it’s certainly spreading . . . Thank you for all the skills you taught us so that we can now manage to do it on our own. It’s just miraculous. I just feel like FINALLY something has clicked into place for me for everything . . . like another level of getting it . . . I’m really, really excited . . . thank you.
