One Penny at a Time

James wants a lego kit.  He has his eye on Lego City yellow semi truck that cost $30.  He has about $20 in his peanut butter jar converted into a piggy bank.

I want James to have good bathroom manners (which includes flushing, putting the seat down, and washing hands).

I struck up a deal.

I pay him a penny every time he has good bathroom manners.  Poor kid doesn't realize he has to use the bathroom 1000 times to earn enough money for his Lego kit.  But I'm happy to report, he ALWAYS has good bathroom manners.  Hopefully after 1000 tries, the habit will stick.

This is such a fabulous idea. I think I'll do the same, and include "aiming well" in the list for our little boys.
