LOL @ Kathlyn's mom. I chose to ignore that gets-harder-when-they're-older bit. Will cross that bridge when we get there. But, yes, there is something to that not-mommy factor. (Which, btw, Ren, makes me wonder if maybe the music lessons might be worth it. Just b/c she doesn't enjoy doing it with you doesn't mean she won't do it w/ someone else.)

NCPMom - Neat idea. Unfortunately, we don't run like clockwork in this house, so not sure we could apply something like that, but still, I can see how that would be a great incentive. smile
