21 Days - A Habit

Mattie had a little problem - which was a big problem for me. She wouldn't sleep in her bed. That meant that she would come in my room every night and sleep on the floor or on the couch. She is the nosiest sleeper ever! So we made a deal...if she would stay in her bed for 21 days in a row...she could have the Lego Atlantis. She has wanted this for a long time. She would sleep in her bed for a 3 day stretch, then have a few bad nights. It actually took her over 6 months to finally get 21 days in a row...but she did it!

It almost took us the 21 hours to just put the darn thing together.

Then these two boys discovered it. Nothing like putting it together again and again!

Good job Mattie! Way to go Mom. I bet it was all worth the bribe. Let's just hope she stays in bed now or you will be very poor soon:)
