Teach him correct principles . .

I'll just try to teach Morgan correct principles and let him teach the other kids. He has already made a good start of it.

* About a week ago Emma was getting dressed and wanted to wear a jumper without a shirt under. I sent her back in her room and pretty soon i heard Morgan talking to her. "Emma you need to wear a shirt under to keep your shoulders covered. You need to be modest." It was great. I let him handle it and pretty soon she came out happily wearing the dress with a shirt under.

* A few days later after we had FHE about rules and responsibilities I heard the kids start to wake up. As Emma left the room Morgan called her back, "Emma be sure to make your bed." When i went in both beds were made, well at least somewhat straightened.

* Then just the other night Emma was complaining that dinner was not ready yet. Morgan came in and said, "Emma, if you are really hungry you should say, 'Mom, what can i do to help with dinner?'" They both helped me finish getting ready and were happy when dinner started.

He is such a wonderful brother.
He is also developing a good sense of humor.

* He was waiting for his turn in the bathroom but Emma was in there upset about something and crying. I told him maybe he should use a different bathroom because she might take a long time because she was just "cryin' her head off". A minute later he tried to go in and check on her. She got louder. He came out threw his hands up in frustration and said, "Now she's gonna cry our whole ceiling off!"

* The next day Emma was throwing a fit about something. I put her in her room, came out and flopped down on the couch by Morgan. He looked at me questioningly and i said, "She is Out of Control." Morgan looked at me totally serious and asked, "Mom, how do you think she got out?"
