NO ALLOWANCE!
Well, at first Jameson tried really hard....he was able to go a few weeks at a time without getting into any trouble. He actually saved about $9.00. BUT, then the novelty wore off, he became used to not getting any toys, and his behavior started to suffer. It started with a couple of stickers marked out, and then progressed to notes being sent home once or twice a week.
We took away television, playtime with friends, outside playtime, and toys.
NOTHING was working.
THEN WE HAD AN IDEA!!!
What is the ONE THING that Jameson wants more than anything???
We told Jameson that if he was able to behave until school let's out in May...
He could get a PUPPY!
Every morning, before he goes to school, we write the word "Puppy" on his hand. Every time a teacher says his name, he is to look at his hand to remind him of what his good behavior will lead to.
It's been TEN DAYS, and he's had ZERO problems! NOT A ONE!
Now the problem is, if he is able to do this....
We have to get a DOG!
**sigh**
I still like this one so much better!!
(Because she belongs to somebody else!)
