Pom Pom Reward

For those of you who don't know, Lexi can be a little stinker. 2 weeks ago, after nursery, I asked her if she played nice 'I hit Zach and had to take a time-out' was her ever-so honest response. This whole hitting phase has been going on for a long time, and has even gotten her reprimanded at the gym a couple of times.

So a few months back my friend Stacie gave me this great idea of a pom-pom jar. When she does something good she gets to put one pom-pom in the jar, and once it is full, she gets to pick a prize of her choice. Whatever she is particularly struggling with, we give her 2 pom-pom's. For a while there it was pooping on the potty, and lately it's been playing nicely with her friends.

This weekend she filled the jar up once more, and wanted to go on a pony ride for her reward. (Grammie to her on a pony ride while in California, and she most certainly hasn't forgotten how great that was.) We took her down to Gardner Village and off she went. It was a good time had by all....however she took about a month filling that jar, and all she got was a 2 1/2 min pony ride, I think she got gyped. Maybe next time I'll take her to Disneyland, that seems like a more fitting reward :)
