So, they have a system at Moomie's school. Basically it's a demerit system. Every kid starts out with a 5, which translates to good behavior. 4 means you need work. 3 means you are in trouble. 2 means they are going to give your name to the local TV station to be read on the evening news. And 1 means expect the police. I haven't heard about 0 yet.

So this past weekend, he and I made a chart for him to stick stars on. So far he has twenty-six 5s, five 4s and five 3s. He doesn't have any 2s or 1s, thank god. I was very pleased to see these constellations in the 5s row. He's been in trouble so much, I thought for sure he had a dozen each of 3s and 4s.

I am thinking of doing something similar for The Rules. I think we'll make a chart by the number for the rules, and then give somebody a star every time they uphold one. Even though they are expected to abide by the rules just because they are the rules. Hm. I'd love to give them some kind of reward every time we get out of the house on time, which has been roughly three times since they've been here.

This weekend I also put together a schedule to go with their brand new clock. It shows what the clock will look like when it's time to do certain things, like go to bed or do homework. So far it has been indifferently received.
