We decided to try some new things with the kids this week.
First, Grace has a Job List. She has about 15 things to check off every day, such as personal care, taking care of her room, picking up her stuff, helping with the kitchen, feeding the dogs, etc. We decided to start her on an allowance of $2.00/week if she accomplishes her tasks every day and she'll also get an extra reward--this week, she wants to see Hannah Montana at the movie theater. Additionally, "go to bed nicely" is on her list, and since we've started this, she's had NO problems! Looks like I'll have to pay up come Saturday.
As for AJ, we had a moment on monday when I tried to make him take a nap. He was quite upset with me and after about an hour of helping him sleep, I allowed him to get up, with the stipulation that he act like a big boy. No more whining, crying, or diapers. If he began acting like a baby, he would immediately take a nap like babies do. Ever since, he's used the potty and been much more mature. :) Change is in the air!
