Teaching Moment Turnaroud

The girls and I were watching Sesame Street the other morning (we've been watching it a lot since we've all been taking turns with a stomach bug) and they had a segment about getting out and staying out of your house when there is a fire. There was a little song stating specific things (teddy bear, doll) that a kid might want to go back into the house and save from a fire. The chorus sang "get out, stay out, don't you go back in." By the end my girls were singing along. Once again I thought I would turn this into a teaching moment by using their "most special" toys as examples. After they each had their "lesson" Emilia decided it was my turn. "And what if your phone was inside? What do you do Mommy?" It's great to know that I've led my kids to believe my cell phone is my most special toy.
