Dollar Tree = Incentive

So I am really get tired of having to sleep in one position all night night long, in my own bed, because on one side of me there's a 4 year old and on the other, a 5 year old. They start out in their own bed, not a problem at all. But then around 1, 2, 3 or 4 a.m. one or both of them crawl into bed with me. Maddy is not very restful sleeper at all & no matter how much I try and move her back the side of the bed she still migrates right up to me.

So last night when I got home from work (we had a 1st birthday party for the consignment store & worked from 2-9) I went up to kiss them goodnight - because they heard the garage door and were banging on their bedroom window trying to get my attention. I told them that they really needed to stay in their bed all night and if they did we would go to the Dollar Store after VBS and they can pick out whatever they wanted. It worked! M came in at one point (1 a.m. or something) and asked if it was time to get up - HA! Then she asked if I could come tuck her in. After that, I didn't hear a peep!

Night One - SUCCESS!

M - a Kit Kat bar
K - a flower pen
