My Mom did this for us growing up. Then, as adults she even gave us each our own red plate to use in our own families! Funny that it's even the same color as yours! I have added a second, smaller plate. And we went with blue. I found that sometimes the red plate was just to massive for whatever we had planned. I also found that sometimes there were 2 kids involved in the thing we were celebrating and so I wanted both to get the special plate at the same time. Not only do we use ours for things we want to celebrate such as a raise, new job, A on a test, etc but we also use ours when we catch the kids doing something awesome like sharing or cleaning on their own! My kids love it so much that they will see their sibling do something and tell me that their sibling needs the plate for what they had done! I love that it's turned into a way for us to "catch" each other doing great things! I am so a Pollyanna type of girl and love that my kids are looking for the good in each other!<br />Rebecca<br />RootsAndWingsCo.blogspot.com I love the red plate idea!

She usually pulled it out on birthdays and report card days. What made it so special was that she didn't give it to the child who'd had the best report card, but the one who'd worked the hardest or made the biggest improvement. She passed it down to me when I got married, but I had forgotten that I had it until I read your blog. Thanks for reminding me of the simple ways to bless your family and the fun memories you can create so easily. My mom had that same red one for our family when we were growing up.
