Jonathan was very very tired this morning when I woke him up. I thought he was going to have a bad day at school, but apparently he didn't. He brought home 2 green cards (good behavior cards). His teacher give those out if kids do thing above and beyond what they are expected. During the first quarter, he would bring home almost 1 a day. He had to collect 10 to get a bigger one (mini-diploma). He had about 30 of them by the beginning of December and since December, he has received 5 of them. So I am happy to see that he had a good day today.
We dove alone today. Jonathan was very hyper/enthuthiastic about a new Magic School Bus movie. He kept telling me "I love bats mommy. I want to be a bat and fly. This is a new movie mommy, we don't have this movie at home. I love this movie". When we got out of the chamber, he told me that we didn't have that DVD and that we had to buy it. It was my opportunity to have him learn to work for what he wants. I told him that he has to bring another green card next week so I can buy it. At first he wasn't happy, but he now understands. I am going to use these types of incentives to teach him to appreciate what he has by working hard to get them.
