must resist the urge to raise my voice...

Perhaps it's my own upbringing, but I guess I'm used to the idea of a parent yelling at their child when they need them to do things like get dressed instead of horsing around.  This mentality needs to change.  When I yell, they pick up on it and soon Thing 1 is yelling at Thing 2, or vice versa.

Thank you to my wife for that reminder this morning.  I need to find a better way of remembering rather than being reminded after the fact (when it's too late).

Yesterday's walk home was so nice.  There was no whining from anyone.  Thing 1 was practising his Holiday Concert song.....very LOUDLY.  Hey, that's what outdoor voices are for!
