Stickers!

Jack proudly displays his full sticker chart and new toy!

We are trying a new plan for rewarding Jack for his good behavior.  He starts with an empty chart and we reward him with stickers when he has good behavior.  When the chart is full, he gets a new toy.  As you can see, he has earned a lot of stickers over the last 9 - 10 days!  He earned stickers for many great behaviors, such as sharing with Lauren, cleaning up his toys, putting his dirty clothes in the laundry, turning off lights when they are not in use, eating well, good sportsmanship, and even sleeping in!  It is going so well that most of the time he is doing what he is supposed to do without even getting reminded!  And let me say, it is so much more pleasant for us to reward his good behavior than give constant time outs for poor behavior.  While it hasn't improved naptime as much as I'd hoped, at least he rests quietly for about an hour so I can have some sanity time!
