Ah, the choices. Such fun! At piano last week, the teacher let DS5 pick a sticker to put on one of his completed pages. I sat there thinking "oh no, there goes the rest of the lesson." But when DS started waffling, the clever piano teacher started counting down "5,4,3,2..." and DS picked one immediately. I will have to start trying that.

We still get crummy answers from DS about how his day went. We'll have to try some of the suggetions here. (His famous preschool responses were "Just sat in the corner and did nothing," and "The teacher left right after you dropped me off, so all the kids played, and the teacher came back just before you picked me up.")
