The power of Gift Giving

This afternoon Dominic was a picture of obedience. Asking what he could do to help out, saying "yes, mom" after I asked him to do anything. Cleaning without being asking. It really was a Christmas miracle. After he was done I said "Dominic do you know what makes me happy?" he responded "no" I then said "when you are being so obedient and helpful." He then followed up with "yes, but does it make you want to buy me presents?"
In his defense I suppose I have mentioned several times that bad behavior will result in very few gifts. I guess I know he is listening. If I can get several days of this obedience it will be worth it all! 12.20.11
