accolades

I pack a lunch for Sunshine each day. Therefore, I have to pack lunch for the other two, in a lunchbox that has to be put in a backpack. Otherwise, there are tears, drama, headaches, etc.

As I was locking Pocket into her carseat, she said, "I have lunch?" and patted her backpack.
"Yes, Mommy packed you a lunch. I made a sandwich for you."
"Good job, Mommy. Sandwich, good job."

I'll take praise where and when I can get it. I'm needy that way.
