Jacob marked another day in history Friday. He worked hard all week and got 5 of the 6 consecutive "greens" for his behavior. Yes, he did. I am so proud. For this incredible feat, he got to go roller skating. He bargained this reward early this year, and you can tell that since we shook on it, he never had the chance to make it to the rink.
With his accomplishment firmly set in his mind, he proceeded to tell me that he thinks he can do anything.
"Mom, I really worked hard on this reward. Now we should make another deal."
I replied, "Deal? You were lucky. I don't think you can do it again," using my best reverse-phychology on my kid.
Next weekend I'm hoping for a trip to the zoo. Whadda ya think? Are we going?
