I wrote to you last month amazed at the change that has come over my life & that of my family since I restarted this system in February.

I’m writing now to tell you about how my 5 year old has stepped up the level. She asked for a fairy file like mine so I gave her the student journal. She dresses like the flylady image on the front cover now… in a purple tutu skirt, t-shirt, fairy wings & lace-up shoes (she insisted you said lace-up not velcro when I took her shopping for the next size) & armed with a fairy wand (i.e. duster which she’s saving up pocket money to replace with a feather duster).

And it’s not just appearances… she follows her routines so diligently. She is even setting herself her own routines with a series of homework everyday despite the fact that she’s on holidays. And I am really quite stunned at everything she is achieving.

And there’s a bonus. With a 3 year old brother who copies her every move… I’m waiting & expecting further change in this house. He will obey me a bit better if I ask him to get ready or clean… but I’m waiting with expectations for a day when I don’t need to ask.
