I posted a week or so ago about Hannah's getting up habits at night. A couple months ago she started getting up once a night (in the middle of the night) to go to the bathroom, although she doesn't seem to have to go much at all. After she goes she always wants her Daddy to carry her back to bed, which he almost always does. I realize to have 3 kids and only have one get up once a night isn't bad, but I decided we were going to try to work on it since we are about to welcome a newborn into our family. We are going to need every bit of sleep we can get! So, I made her a chart. She's been very excited about the chart and it seems to be helping some. Although she will still get up some nights. If she stays in her bed all night she gets a sticker. When she filled up her first row and got her first prize she was soooooo proud. We were too!
This happened on a Sunday, so after our morning service on Sunday morning Bert and Hannah stopped by Ingles on their way home and let Hannah pick out a dollar prize.
While we were changing clothes and getting lunch ready Emily had gotten a piece of orange paper and decided to make her own chart so that she could earn prizes too. She brought it to us after she had finished and it made us smile.
She tried to copy everything just like I had done on Hannah's. We told her we'd think of another reason for her to have a chart because she is already so good at bedtime and night time. She falls asleep basically when her head hits the pillow (a gift that her Daddy passed on to her!) and stays asleep all night.
Sleep Hannah sleep!
