Treating a child with respect is always a good idea. Coupling that with a sense of responsibility for her behaviour and reasons for that behaviour was an approach that clearly was appropriate for Ruby.<br />Now, I suggest that you and Joe undertake a rigorous programme of naps, rests and cups of tea.<br />And Happy 2012 to both of you!wheeliecronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10570378001102933660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-62421295238967980832011-12-30T13:07:18.669-05:002011-12-30T13:07:18.669-05:00You two are the coolest Uncles ever!!!You two are the coolest Uncles ever!!!kstablefordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16443269467016190248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-44171606837567257572011-12-30T12:05:30.784-05:002011-12-30T12:05:30.784-05:00It sounds like you all had a wonderful time.

The energy thing - I still remember my grandmother shaking her head as I came up to her back porch jumping rope ... which I had been jumping all the way from my house ... I think I was on 500 ... She was wishing she could bottle up my energy - and I wish she had so I could have a little back now! <br /><br />Glad you all had such a good visit. I'm sure Ruby will treasure it forever. Happy New Year, Dave & Joe! Hope 2012 is full of wonderful moments.Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04624151975591059655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-43289611961187115022011-12-30T00:23:15.517-05:002011-12-30T00:23:15.517-05:00Oh, enjoy the peaceful afterglow!
