Some More Rewards

I haven't posted about our situation we are dealing w/Braylon lately just becuz I feel like it would be a long post to talk about it. But try to make a very short story, for over a month, he has started either stalling to go to sleep by getting up bazillion of times to go potty, or in the middle of the night go potty. I don't care if he gets up in the middle of the night, but...he has to then call out for me & needs me to help him back in bed, or cries for me to stay w/him til he falls asleep. So within this very long month of time, we have tried all kinds of things! One thing we have done is set up a Reward System becuz he does love rewards! This is a different system than him drawing rewards out of a box (from other posts). This one is ONLY for encouraging him to sleep the whole night thru, like he use to for over a year now!!! OR if he chooses to wake up in the middle of the night to go to sleep, that is fine, but he has to go back to bed on his own, w/o waking me up!!!
So here's the Reward System:
If he sleeps the whole night thru (without waking me up!) ONCE, he gets to have his Teddy blanket all day the next day!
If he sleeps the whole night thru TWO times in a row (which we start the count all over again, like once he earned Teddy, if he slept the next night thru that doesn't count as the 2nd time in a row, we are back to square one & then he needs to do it one more time), he gets a Word World DVD that he spied @ Meijer. Word World is his favorite PBS TV show!
3x in a row - Go eat lunch @ McDonald's & play in the Play Land
4x in a row - Nap in our bed (he use to beg to do that!)
5x in a row - Sleep w/us for one night (he use to beg for that!)
6x in a row - Sleep @ Grandpa & Grandma Troyer's house
7x in a row - Choose ANY train he wants!!! He has choosen Wooden Gordon! So we printed off a picture of Gordon & it's taped to the side of Braylon's bed so he can see it while he falls asleep to remind him who he's sleeping for!
He's done the ONCE time & got Teddy. And then he did it 2x in a row! So here he is w/his Word World DVD!
And he's slept 3x in a row & has earned his McDonald's outing, except he's been sick this week w/a cough so we have to wait til he's better to do that. Now he's working on 4x in a row so he can take one nap in our bed!

Onto the other rewards...for eating a good supper, he drew "Get a special drink!" He chose Root Beer pop!
Being silly drinking it!
Remember he's a pokey eater, hence the reason we created the Reward Box? Well the other day he ate all of his breakfast all on his own w/o me having to keep begging him to take another bite. So I let him draw a reward & he gets "Have a snack later" - he chooses GUM! What a silly child!
One supper time he did really great so we let him draw 2 rewards. The 1st one was "Work on a puzzle":and the 2nd one was "Play with the iPod!"
