Anna and I were enjoying our one on one time together this afternoon while Brandon was at school. We were eating our lunch and talking about her day at preschool. She told me they played outside, sang songs, but didn't paint (she can't wait to do this). She then began telling on herself. Here is how the conversation went...
Anna- "I didn't get a sticker today."
Me-"Why not?"
Anna-"I didn't listen."
Me-"Why didn't you listen?"
Anna-"Mrs. Crawford asked me to clean up the toys and I didn't listen, so she said I didn't get a sticker."
I really wanted to laugh when she was telling me this because she was just being so honest and was so serious (and she doesn't like to clean up her toys at home either). Instead, I used it as a teachable moment and told her that she needed to always listen to her teacher and I thanked her for telling me about it.
Now, this was her second day of preschool, so hopefully, she will be getting lots of stickers from here on out.

Cameron used to tell on himself all the time when he was in preschool, and he still does a pretty good job of telling me what's going on.
