Light "Saver"


Camden is very into Stars Wars right now. He loves playing Angry Birds Star Wars on my phone. We got the Star Wars DVDs from the library and he can name just about every character. Although the clones sounds more like crumbs. :) When we "play" Star Wars, he is Luke Skywalker(sometimes Hans Solo), Daddy is Chewbacca and Mommy is Princess Layla(Leia).
For a few weeks, he has been having trouble staying in bed after we did the routine and tucked him in bed. He woud ask for a drink, need a Kleenex for a booger (ew), ask us to pray for no ghosts again, etc...
He also had been asking for a light saber(saver). So, the teacher in me decided an incentive chart was the perfect solution. He had to earn stars by staying in bed to get a light saber. I made this chart and we got some stickers from Aunt Beth. Now, in the meantime, we just happened to be up at Aunt Beth's and Nick had a old light saber that Camden loved. So, Nick, ever the salesman, offered to sell us his light saber-as a discount of course. This is so Nick! It was great-we got a light saber for cheap and Nick made some money. We told Nick that we would have to come shopping with him again next time.
It only took Camden 7 nights to get his five stars! Now, hopefully, staying in bed will continue without the incentive...
