After feeling like I was fighting the girls to do everything that they should do in a day, I finally decided to make them a sticker chart. For each day of the week there is a spot for them to put a sticker when they complete things that need to be done. These things include making their bed, brushing their teeth, eating their vegetables, and going to bed well.
And let me just say . . . that miracles have happened. The first day we added the potty sticker on there, Annalee went potty in the toilet! Annalee now also leaves her blanket on her bed (to make her bed) and hasn't dragged it around anymore -- at all! Amazing!
Violatte is really good at reminding us to help them with things (like brushing their teeth). She won't let me forget something. She is even very anxious to set the table or eat her vegetables so she can get that sticker. Speaking of eating vegetables -- they actually do it now! Wahoo!
Stickers have become my best friends!

Aren't they great?! I think girls must be willing to do a little bit more than boys though, because they didn't ever work for that long for us! We've now moved onto a chore chart where they have their chores they do because they live in our house (I guess mandatory chores is a good way to put it) but they also have the option of doing optional chores, where they receive a set amount of money for each extra chore they do a day. It has been working well so far!! Good luck! Hope the stickers continue to work their magic!
