He finally made it....

Well~ to start off I have that kid that gets in trouble for being too smart at school. He would get bored and start acting out. Messing with the other kids and such. We went thru this all last year and we tried every type of punishment under the sun. So when this years teacher and I were on a first name basis I realized that it was time to try a new approach. Which leads us to the subject of this. Bribery. Good old fashion bribery. He’d been hounding us to get a Mohawk for a couple months. Then this little light bulb went on and I realized I had my bribing chip. I told him if he could go two weeks strait without getting a card pulled (when they get in trouble) he could get it. For two months now he’s made it to Thursday of week two and gotten one pulled. FINALLY he came home yesterday with the good news that he made it. We got up this morning & headed in to do some cuttin’. I think it is cute. My mom hates it. But most importantly Hamster loves it and we taught him 2 very important lessons. One that as much as I wanted to give in when he’d make it almost two weeks I can stand by my word. And two that in life you have to work for the things you want. So…. Here’s the picture
