This morning Peyton’s bladder woke her up at 610am. She got up, told us she had to go potty, and I asked her to do it by herself. She took care of business, then I asked her to go back to her room until the alarm goes on (I told her we’d wash her hands after we got up). Much less drama today than the other day. She went quietly, and stayed there for about 10 minutes. She still had about 10 minutes to go until the alarm, but she came back and told us she wanted to get dressed. Not denying that, I told her to take her clothes (I put them out in our room) and put them on in her room. She didn’t leave, but quietly put the clothes on. After 5 more minutes, she asked for help with her shirt. I told her that it wasn’t time for me to help her, since the alarm hadn’t turned on. And since she was out of her room, she was not going to earn back all her things. She quickly left, (top half naked) , and went back to her room until the music went on. 5 minutes later, she came back and again asked for help with her shirt. I awarded her with Daddy’s blanket and Violet for listening the first time and going back to her room, but she didn’t get everything back (her baby and dog) because she didn’t stay in her room. I told her she could try again tomorrow. Meanwhile, I could hear Brandon moving around by then. He had “earned” 40 sentences last night, and Dave told him to get started as soon as he got up. When Dave went to check, Brandon was at his desk, starting to write! Dave gave him a 10 sentence pardon for good behavior! He did the other 30 before and during breakfast. I’ll take him to my dentist appointment, and then to the mall up by the dentist. We have to shop for Nolan’s birthday party this weekend. Brandon is very excited to be going to Laserquest!
