When dinner was over and the kids were excused, Becca and Andy came back with these signs:
"Let us talk when we want to talk! END THE SILENCE. Do you hear the interesting conversation? No? Why not?
YOU WON'T LET US HAVE THEM!"
"Creative converstation is being killed!
SAVE SPEECH!"
I guess silent dinner didn't go over so well. All I want is for the kids to take turns and to listen to each other respectfully. Maybe it IS too much to ask. But I refuse to give up!

I love it!! ;0) Well it isn't to much to ask, but You can always create the usual whoever wants to speak has to have the talking stick, or speaking stick. And I guess if you want to really enforce it, the one who breaks the silence without the stick, has extra dishes duty. lol Just grab an old stick out of the back yard, and decorate it with glitter, ribbons, and some manly stuff to! lol Good luck! If all else fails you can threaten them with boot camp from Chuck! ha ha
HAHAHAHA that's soooo like your kids! They are so funny. I miss you guys so much! Keep us updated here in Espana. Love you, -Leeann

Good that they can "speak" their mind, even when they can't speak. You've got some strong kids Dayna!!
