The first one is with Marc. His behavior has been bad, to say the least. The was he has been acting is somewhat typical for a 6-year-old boy, but I think to the extreme. He is working towards being good for a week so he can go to Chuck E Cheese. Well, the first day he was good, we decided to reward his good behavior.
The second is with Samantha. We have been trying to make the next step in potty training. We have kinda stalled out in making progress so we took the next step and put her in underwear while we are home. I make it a point to sit her on the potty every hour or so to make sure she stays dry. The first few days she still had an accident or 2 each day. The same day Marc was good, Samantha stayed dry all day! So we decided to reward her good behavior.
So, what better way to reward both kids on a hot summer day....ice cream!! We headed to the local ice cream shop and hot dogs and french fries for dinner and ice cream for dessert. We normally don't get Samantha her own ice cream cone, but we had a coupon for a free one, so we thought, what the heck, we got her own. I told Daddy to get it in a bowl, but must be he didn't hear me and when Daddy ordered it he got it on a cone.
The first few licks she took, she flinched because it was cold, She got used to it and started eating it. It was hot, so the ice cream melted quickly, so as Mommy originally said she needed, Daddy got a bowl to put it in. ;-)
I tried to get some cute pictures of Marc eating his ice cream, but he kept rolling his eyes at me every time I pointed the camera at him. Think he gets tired of always having his picture taken? ;-)
After we all got done with our ice cream we headed home and Samantha got a quick bath before bed since she was covered head to toe in melted ice cream! ;-) It was a good end to a good day!
