Last night Maddie & I went to see "The Tale of Desperaux" because she had filled her chart with stickers. We have found the best thing that motivates Madison is to give her a sticker to put on a chart when she is good or does something she is asked. I let her pick the movie & she wanted to see 'the mouse with the big ears'. Boring movie - cute lead character, good story moral, some weird parts but it wasn't enough to keep Madison's attention let alone mine. Needless to say - I'm sure we won't be buying it when its out on DVD.
We went to dinner first at Chic-fil-a so she could get her wiggles out on the playground. Then we got popcorn, drinks & icecream to enjoy with the movie. And we only had to take 1 pottybreak! I don't sit at the top of theaters anymore because usually it's 3-4 potty breaks. Maddie's hard at work filling up her next chart - she wants Daddy to take her next time!
