Bedtime Chart

We recently started a bedtime chart with Maddox because he had gotten in a really bad habit of calling for us over and over after we put him to bed each night.  The reasons varied: needing to potty, being hungry, being scared, etc...  He responds very well when he knows there is a reward in sight so I decided to make a sticker chart with rewards for him to work towards.  He gets to put a sticker on his chart each morning if he doesn't call for us at all the night before.  After the first row of stickers is filled, the treat is ice cream with Daddy, followed by donuts with Mommy after the second row is filled.  The third reward is a trip to Books A Million where he gets to pick out a new toy, and the finale is a trip to Chuck E. Cheese.  He has been asking to go to there for several weeks, now, and I know he will be so excited once he fills the final row!

It's nothing fancy, but it works!

Out of the 9 nights that we have been doing this system, he has only missed 2 stickers.  We are really proud of how he is doing and it is working really well for him!  On Saturday, Daddy took him for his first reward: ice cream at Sweet Frog :)

Ready to go get his treat!
I will admit, I am looking forward to the next one!  This pregnant momma is craving some donuts! :)
