Leading by example

It seems obvious because it is obvious... but for some reason, it was a huge revelation to me. Why is it that Lily almost always says "thank you" when I never remember teaching her that? Because Rob and I almost always say it. Every day. A million times. So she says it. Every day. A million times. Until I ask her to say it... And then I'm in for a huge battle. So moral of the story? How much more influential (and easier) are my actions than my words! Why waste my breath when instead of telling her, I could just show her. See? Obvious. But this is one I wanted to remember. :)
