Jim and I decided to start manner candles for the kids. The idea comes from the Walker side. The basic concept is each child has their own candle stick. At each dinner meal we light the candle, they are to chew with their mouths closed, have no elbows on the table, say their please's and thank you's and talk in an appropriate manner. If they make it through dinner without having bad manners their candle stay lit. If they have a slip up their candle is blown out. But when they are done with their dinner, they asked to be excused and blow out their candle. We told them who ever has the smallest candles in two weeks wins an awesome prize. We will see how it works out.
