My Mom was always a stickler for thank you notes, as she should be. I remember her having us sit down and write our thank you notes during our holiday break every year, threatening us that if we didn't do it, people would stop sending us gifts. Like most children, we were totally greedy and materialistic and the thought of no gifts at the holidays always whipped us into shape to write those thank-yous.
I plan to teach Bijou good manners and habits by having her do the same. I think this year it will be easy since she loves any opportunity to practice writing her letters but next year I may need to brush the dust off the old "no gifts next year" threat which I have absolutely no qualms about.
