Instant gratification??

Whoa, in the past couple of hours since my declaration, they have been playing joyfully together and even created a "hot springs" in the bathroom sink with a sign, bubbles and food coloring. Two minor incidents that would normally have produced huge fests went over quickly and quietly, without grumbling or resentment. This just can't be true - not only are they NOT screaming, they are actually enjoying each other.

On one other note - Toby's first school project is due tomorrow and he mentioned it earlier but now seems to have forgotten about it. He hasn't blown anything so far but each time I get all worked up, waiting for him to take action. He can handle it - either he'll remember it, or he'll learn what his teacher does if he doesn't. Not my problem, not my problem...
